Heartland

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
