Heartland lyrics

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' meand the valley of apathy as far as I can 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 thats what lies within So if you walk alone while others cast a stonestay 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 I was on the outside always looking in Now I stand I can't turn and face away.
