The Alan Parsons Project - Standing on Higher Ground
Track #4, Gaudi, 1987
[Verse 1]
FI know the truth but I can't Bbsay
And Ebsus4I have to turn my Ebhead and look the Fother way
I'm not afraid and I won't Bblie
As Ebsus4long as I see no Ebwrong I won't need to Ftestify
[Chorus]                                                                        
FI see the world and I'm Bb7looking from a high place
Bbsus4Way above it all standing on higher Fground
I breathe the air while they're Bb7running in a rat race
Bbsus4Way above it all standing on higher Fground
[Verse 2]
FI feel the blow but I don't Bbspeak
And Ebsus4I have to close my Ebeyes pretending FI'm asleep
Well I see the tears but I don't Bbcry
As Ebsus4long as I do no Ebwrong I don't need an Falibi
[Chorus]                                                                        
FI see the world and I'm Bb7looking from a high place
Bbsus4Way above it all standing on higher Fground
I breathe the air while they're Bb7running in a rat race
Bbsus4Way above it all standing on higher Fground
