Standing on Higher Ground

I know the truth, but I can't say
And I have to turn my head and look the other way
I'm not afraid, and I won't lie
As long as I see no wrong, I won't need to testify

I see the world, and I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all, standing on higher ground
I breathe the air while they're running in a rat race
Way above it all, standing on higher ground

I feel the blow, but I don't speak
And I have to close my eyes pretending I'm asleep
Well, I see the tears, but I don't cry
As long as I do no wrong, I don't need an alibi

I see the world, and I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all, standing on higher ground
I breathe the air while they're running in a rat race
Way above it all, standing on higher ground

Way above it all, way above it all
On top of the world, standing in higher ground
Way above it all, way above it all
On top of the world, standing in higher ground

I see the world (I see the world)
And I'm looking from a high place
(Looking from a high place)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)
I breathe the air (I breathe the air)
While they're running in a rat race
(Running in a rat race)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)

I see the world (I see the world)
And I'm looking from a high place
(Looking from a high place)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)
I breathe the air (I breathe the air)
While they're running in a rat race
(Running in a rat race)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)
(Standing on higher ground)

I see the world (I see the world)
And I'm looking from a high place
(Looking from a high place)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)
I breathe the air (Way above it all)
While they're running in a rat race (Way above it all)
Way above it all (Way above it all)
Standing on higher ground...
