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
