Verse: 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 as far as I can see Bridge: I was on the outside Always looking in Now I stand, I can't turn and face away Chorus: Here I will stay, on my own, I will pray, all alone, on this stage in the heartland Verse 2: When the color of your skin decides where you begin then thats what lies within So if you walk alone while others cast a stone stay on your own Bridge 2: The changing of the new tide something you can't hide Take your stand this truth will fade away CH: Here I will stay, on my own, I will pray, all alone, on this stage in the heartland Instrumental to another chorus chord sequence I was on the outside always looking in Now I stand I can't turn and face away Followed by two more choruses.
