Here We Stand
The cover consists of a ringmaster wearing a beige suit, top hat and sunglasses, holding a black cane and white megaphone while spreading his arms out. Behind the ringmaster is a circus tent, a mid-day blue sky with a white cloud, and a tree. Both the band's name and album title are superimposed on the ringmaster, colored in white.
