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.
