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...
