| 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 |
