Verse #1

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

Chorus

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

Verse #2

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

Chorus

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