I Can See Higher Than Before

I look out upon where the mountains turn to sand

I haven't seen a place like this in any other land

I stand on the other side, my feet against the wall

A smile is written on my face, I know that I won't fall

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

The smell of dust from the golden plains

A contrast to last night

We sang and drank and carried on

At the A-Cube bar all night

We drove home past the Tiananmen Square

They told me of that night

On June the 4th, 1989

Inside I just went quiet

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

There was a saying that Mike told me that night

The longer you stay, the less you understand

Oh

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before

I can see higher than before
