It's dark and i'm trying to find A state of mind where i can hide away Knocking on people's doors, greeted with open arms But it's no secret i'm not welcome where i stay I've been struggling on, trying to belong To face after familiar face But i give in to fear and a curtained room With no comfort but the warmth in his embrace Oh, if i could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know i have hopes I have some dreams And i have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that i call my own And you will leave me alone Cos here i stand It's cold outside, crouched by a light Holding up pictures in the same hand as my smoke How happy i was then, look at my smile I, i must have been on dope How the times have changed, how little danger I get into by choice Kids, they keep me sane, numb from the pain Cos they know how to raise their voices, oh, whoa Oh, if i could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know i have hopes I have some dreams And i have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that i call my own And tell them all here i stand Here i stand Here i stand Here i stand Oh, if i could say Without being afraid Or him raising a hand I'd say you know i have hopes I have some dreams And i have the right to make a stand So here is the line The line to my place The place that i call my own And you will leave me alone Cos here i stand Cos here i stand Here i stand
