Stand
Here I stand
Wondering when my mind
Was shaped by all these lies
That carried me this far
Here I stand
How did I get here?
It wasn’t my own feet
That carried me this far
But it’s my hand
Can reach out,
Its my voice,
Can speak up,
It’s my feet
That can stand
Here I stand
Prejudice in hand
Ready to let go
And walk into this fire
Here I stand
Humbly armed with love
Can you forgive us?
We’re walking into fire
Here I stand
Swathed in all your tears
Appalled by all these years
Let’s walk into the fire
Understand
I will never
Understand
I could never
Understand!
But I stand
...
with you
