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 [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 
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
