Here I Stand Songtext
von Annah Mac

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 half that familiar face
But I give in to fear in 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, crushed by light
Holding our pictures in the same hand as my smoke
How happy I was then, look at my smile
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, 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, "Well, 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
