I'm just a thought
Circling in a corner of my head
My mouth is sealed,
My eyes are wide with words I never said

People surrounding me
I'm shrinking back and hoping they won't see me
But suddenly I feel I can

Here I stand
What are you saying?
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
Your knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
Don't you feel the fear inside?
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand

I'm so afraid
But I won't let this steal my energy
Won't run away
I'll use it as a force to strengthen me

I am a fool, I know
I'm falling apart and I am hoping it won't show
But deep inside I feel I can

Here I stand
What are you saying?
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
Your knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
Don't you feel the fear inside?
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand

Instrumental

Here I stand
And I am saying
I'm saying I believe
Here I stand
My knees are shaking
But my soul is holding me
I don't fear the fear inside
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive
So here I stand
