Stand Tall - Lena Raine

When the sun is risin' over streets so barren Since the evenin', colors flash before my eyes I feel like a child, so young and new in '92, I listen To what my father said Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can, when you can How this used to feel so far and free Now these broken souls are all I see Fists have fallen to our side We may cry alone I feel we know where all of this is headed But my mama said Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall Oh I, nah, nah, nah If you are strong you cannot fall If you are strong, oh no There is a voice inside us all So smile, oh (Smile), when you can (Can), oh, when you can If you cannot, oh! There is more to you and me There is more than they can see I'm on your side (Woo, oh!) There is more out there And somebody cares 'bout you I do Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall There is more out there Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Oh! Give me morning, oh-oh-oh When you're gone to yourself Oh, oh! Woo! Yeah! (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) (If you are strong you cannot fall) Oh! Oh! (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) (If you are strong you cannot fall) Thanks for doing that, thank you Oh! Oh! (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) (If you are strong you cannot fall) Ooh, oh

Let's just be honest, Jesus I'm a mess Can't seem to fill this void of emptiness My bills are paid but I'm still stressed I need You, I need You Trying to medicate, end all the pain Can't hush these voices in my brain Singing songs of silence, sounds of shame I need You, I need You But if I tell the truth I'm so afraid of truth But I know it and You know it I know I need to pray, but I don't know how to say I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change I wanna trust in You, but if I tell the truth I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change Soaking between what was and what could be I'm so afraid to loose the image they see I don't even know what's happening to me I need You, I need You But when I face the facts, my feeling's not a fact I know it, yes, I know it I know I need to pray, but I don't know how to say I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change I wanna trust in You, but if I tell the truth I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change Sometimes I feel like I, like I gotta hide I just don't get why You stay with me 'Cause my faith and my trust are wavering Wavering Maybe it's all my pride, it's hard to surrender When I've been pretending to have it together But I feel like my world is falling apart Just need a minute, just a second to catch up I know I'm not finished, I just can't seem to get up Help me remember all of the place that we made When we were both on the same page On the same page I know I need to pray, but I don't know how to say I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change I wanna trust in You, but if I tell the truth I'm not ready, I'm not ready to change (But if I tell the truth-)
