Where I Stand - Linda Allen

Woman standing in the rain on a cold October day

In her hand there was a sign,

It said, There Must Be A Better Way.

By her side her child asked why

Do you do the things you do?

Once, you know, I did it for me,

Now I’m doing it for you

So you will know where I stand

You will know who I am

You will know where I stand

If it all falls down

Grey were the stones of the courthouse steps and grey was the autumn sky

Grey were the faces of the passing people looking down as they walked by

Black and white was the news that morning in a world about to die.

Red as blood was the sign above, and the child again asked,

«Why?»

CHORUS

Used to be I believed I could change some hearts with a hand-made sign

Now I know I gotta keep on so that others won’t change mine.

Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for something new

Hold a sign, hold a vision 'cause I’m leavin' it up to you.

CHORUS
