Heartland

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
