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...
