Well I’m feelin’ low down, feelin’ let down
My fate’s decided from far away
Five in the morning feelin’ put down
Hear you breathin’ next to me
Walking alone into the blackness
How am I gonna face the day?
Being squeezed ‘til I do some jumpin’
Cut my legs from under me
Take my home and move me elsewhere
I’m startin’ to fear for my sanity
I’m cravin’ peace & quiet & stillness
How am I gonna face the day?
Rock and a hard place but you’re still standin’
Get your strength from community
Share the burden, it will lighten
Laugh in the face of adversity
Chorus: We’ll stand together, stand together
We’re strong together, stand together
Morning sky is red like fire flames
Songs from blackbirds in the trees
Pace the floor and think of answers
How am I going to get some peace
Everything goes & everything changes
How am I gonna face the day?
Rock and a hard place but you’re still standin’
Get your strength from community
Share the burden, it will lighten
Laugh in the face of adversity
Chorus (2x): We’ll stand together, stand together
We’re strong together, stand together
