Stand Our Ground - Quindon Tarver

As you walk through the shadow Feel your weight on solid ground As you tremble in the darkness In the midst of silent sounds As you search for your answer And no answer has been found May you stand, stand your ground And when you come to the table To lay your burdens down As you wait upon the weary For whom no rest was found As you search for to lean on And find no friend around May you stand, stand your ground And may you stand, stand your ground May you stand, stand your ground When the last step is before you And you feel like falling down May you stand, stand your ground And as you kneel in the garden And no one is around As you raise your hands above you And from your lips cry out Oh Father, forgive me For I could not see through my doubt May you stand, stand your ground And may you stand, stand your ground May you stand, stand your ground When the last step is before you And your light is burning out May you stand, stand your ground Oh, may you stand, stand your ground, yeah May you stand, stand your ground

I know we both want to do the right thing But the needle in our compass is trembling Trapped in the flame as our house burns down Left for dead 'cause we can't find common ground We can't find common ground so we agree to burn it down We can't let it burn down so we need to find common ground It's so hard to find the truth When the other side wants to bury you, to bury you And it's so hard to find a way When the other side wants to play you like a game It's all about who's wrong and who's right Don't wanna learn, we just wanna fight If different thinkers are enemies Just think what we could be if our thoughts were in harmony I know we both want to do the right thing But the needle in our compass is trembling Trapped in the flame as our house burns down Left for dead 'cause we can't find common ground We can't find common ground so we agree to burn it down We can't let it burn down so we need to find common ground We're stuck in a maze of conviction Every path leads back to the beginning We've built these walls It's all about what's wrong and who's right Don't wanna learn, we just wanna fight We've been buried alive between dreams and reality Only the truth could set us free I know we both want to do the right thing But the needle in our compass is trembling Trapped in the flame as our house burns down Left for dead 'cause we can't find common ground Your heart's in the same place but your mind is a million miles away Your heart's in the same place but your mind is a million miles away And it's forcing us to separate Your heart's in the same place but your mind is a million miles away And it's forcing us to separate Your heart's in the same place but your mind is a million miles away Your heart's in the same place but your mind is a million miles away

I know I'll never be good enough And I don't care, 'cause I'm never giving up How does it feel when you can't hold your own? And how does it feel when desperation has left you alone? It feels as if this burden is all I've ever known And the weight pushing down on me continues to grow I know I'll never be good enough And I don't care, 'cause I'm never giving up I've live my life on my own terms Gaining ground from everything I've learned How does it feel when you can't hold your own? And how does it feel when desperation has left you alone? It feels as if this burden is all I've ever known And the weight pushing down on me continues to grow I know I'll never be good enough And I don't care, 'cause I'm never giving up This is where we bury all that drags us down This is where we break free to stand on our own ground This is where we bury all that drags us down This is where we break free to stand on our own ground

Like a childhood room when you're home for a long weekend Everything's the same but it all feels different I remember when I used to Know that I was safe next to you Now I'm standing in the same place And I don't feel anything at all 'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me Without you here I won't know who I am or who to be If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget 'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in You were the ground that I used to stand on Now the familiar's gone and I'm trying to hold on I've been trying to resist it Tryna keep it at a distance, oh But I'm standing in the same place And I don't feel anything at all 'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me Without you here I won't know who I am or who to be If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again But I'm fighting for a memory I'm starting to forget 'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here Don't leave me here 'Cause letting go of you feels like I'm letting go of me Without you here I won't know who I am or who to be If I walk away I'm scared I'll never see you again But I'm fighting for a memory, I'm starting to forget 'Cause the thought of losing you is sinking in

He called me pretty She called me special Too young for whiskey Drunk on potential Dressed like a French maid Japanese café Singing a song someone wrote Swing for the fences Be a good sport Face like a doll Yeah, it's all that you're good for My biggest fear is I'll disappear if I got nothin' to show So far down this road Now I wake up and I look around And it breaks my heart to have to doubt Will you still love me if my luck runs out? Will you still love me if my luck runs out? 'Cause the world keeps turnin' round and round Like I'm easy to forget about Will you still love me if my luck runs out? Will you still love me, will you still? I saw a movie Childhood actress Googled her name just to see what had happened She went to college Moved to Missouri And it kinda made me feel sad 'Cause I've been so focused On making it worth it Sayin' I can't be a regular person But maybe that actress ended up happy And she'd look at me and feel bad 'Cause I wake up and I look around And it breaks my heart to have to doubt Will you still love me if my luck runs out? Will you still love me if my luck runs out? 'Cause the world keeps turning round and round Like I'm easy to forget about Will you still love me if my luck runs out? Will you still love me, will you still? Love me (will you, will you, will you, will you?) Love me Will you still love me, will you still? Love me (will you, will you, will you, will you?) Love me Will you still love me if my luck runs out?
