The view I have from this place above
I watch as your lives pass you by
You're all exposed to my prying eyes
You don't hide from the watcher in the sky
The loneliness of the chosen few
To whom everyday is the same
The hour's soon when he's here again
I don't know what he looks like or his name
Day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year -- still I'm here
My eyes have seen much more than yours from this tower
The secret sacred words of lore give me power
He teaches me what I need to know
A faceless and nameless design
In places like mine all across the globe
We are formed to preserve the land and the law
Day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year -- still I'm here
My eyes have seen much more than yours from this tower
The sacred secret words of lore give me power
The guardian protects the law
But far below the tower toil the ones that it's for
