Here I Stand - Annah Mac
Written by：Annah MacDonald/Ranei York
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 **
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 oh
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
