Lyrics
Heartland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How long can this go on
How long can we see this wrong
And sing the same old song
There's a desert all round me
And the valley of apathy
Far as I could see
I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand
I can't turn and face away
Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland
When the color of your skin
decides where you begin
Then that's what lies within
So if you walk alone
While others cast a stone
Stay on your own
The changing of the new tide
Something you can't hide
Take your stand
This truth will fade away
Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland, yeah
I was on the outside
Always looking in
Now I stand
I can't turn and face away
Here I will stay on my own
I will pray all alone
On this stage in the Heartland
Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
All alone
On this stage
In the Heartland
The Heartland
Here I will stay
On my own
I will pray
I ain't never going home
Alone on the stage
In the Heartland
