Standing On Higher Ground

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

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
