Here I Stand

(album: Shadowlife - 1997)

I will rise up over this
'till I come to a higher place
I will find strength let go
of all the ties to my disgrace

I'm no more and no less
than anyone else
looking for a new horizon
I can find in myself

[Chorus:]
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the rising sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cause here I stand

No hesitation holding back
I'll take each step one by one
but I might fall I could stray
If I loose my eye's today

I'm only one in a crowd
I'm just one voice on the line
looking for a new horizon
another place another time

[Chorus:]
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the rising sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cause here I stand

[CODA:]
In our hands a light shines
we still wonder
change our world into sand
we will hunger
like a child -fears the night
draws near its mother
like a son -fears no one
will cast our shadow forever
'cause here I stand
