[Verse 1]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
Cos here I stand
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
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
|
Cos they know how to raise their voices, oh, whoa
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
Cos here I stand
|
Cos here I stand
|
Here I stand
|
|

Here I Stand
