Standing On Higher Ground - The Alan Parsons Project

(Lead vocal - Geoff Barradale)

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 on higher ground

(Way above it all)

Way above it all, way above it all

On top of the world, standing on higher ground

(Way above it all)

I see the world (I see the world)

And I'm looking from a high place (looking from a high place)

Way above it all (Way above it all)

Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)

I breathe the air (I breathe the air)

While they're running in a rat race (running in a rat race)

Way above it all (Way above it all)

Standing on higher ground (Way above it all)
