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.
