The Alan Parsons Project
	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

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

Oh you are

Standing on higher ground

Way above it all

Way above it all

Now you are

Standing on higher ground

Repeat chorus
