Here I Stand

歌詞

It's dark and I'm trying to find A state of mind where I can hide away Knocking on people's doors, greeted with open arms But it's no secret I'm not welcome where I stay I've been struggling on, trying to belong To face after familiar face But I give in to fear and a curtained room With no comfort but the warmth in his embrace Oh, if I could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know I have hopes I have some dreams And I have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that I call my own And you will leave me alone 'Cause here I stand It's cold outside, crouched by a light Holding up pictures in the same hand as my smoke How happy I was then, look at my smile I, I must have been on dope How the times have changed, how little danger I get into by choice Kids, they keep me sane, numb from the pain 'Cause they know how to raise their voices, oh, whoa Oh, if I could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know I have hopes I have some dreams And I have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that I call my own And tell them all here I stand Here I stand Here I stand Here I stand Oh, if I could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know I have hopes I have some dreams And I have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that I call my own And you will leave me alone 'Cause here I stand 'Cause here I stand Here I stand
