How long can this go on
Dm
How long can we see this wrong
B
and sing the same old song
F
There’s a desert all round’ me
Dm
and the valley of apathy
B
as far as I can see
C
B
I was on the outside
C
B
Always looking in
G
Now I stand, I can’t
C
turn and face away
F
Here I will stay, on my
Dm
own, I will pray, all
B
alone, on this stage
C
G
in the heartland
F
When the color of your skin
Dm
decides where you begin
B
then thats what lies within
F
So if you walk alone
Dm
while others cast a stone
B
stay on your own
C
B
The changing of the new tide
C
B
something you can’t hide
G
Take your stand
C
this truth will fade away
F
Here I will stay, on my
Dm
own, I will pray, all
B
alone, on this stage
C
G
in the heartland
C
B
I was on the outside
C
B
always looking in
G
Now I stand
C
I can’t turn and face away
F
Here I will stay, on my
Dm
own, I will pray, all
B
alone, on this stage
C
G
in the heartland
F
Here I will stay, on my
Dm
own, I will pray, all
B
alone, on this stage
C
G
in the heartland
