I Stand Before You

It's no secret I've been down and out
It's no secret at all
I've been fightin' shadows off my back
To learn how to walk I must crawl
Lies will heal all my wounds
No matter how deep or wrong
It's no secret I've been losing touch
It's no secret, it's no secret at all
And so here you find me

I stand before you and your peers
It's no secret at all
Judge me, but only if you dare
I stand before you
I stand before you without a care

There's no reason that I stand and shout
There's no reason at all
I find myself in a cold, hard, world
I feel that I don't belong
Time will break all the rules
No matter how true or how strong
There's no reason that I cry out loud
There's no reason, there's no reason at all
And so you find me here

I stand before you and your peers
Judge me, but only if you dare
I stand before you
I stand before you without a care
And so you find me, stand here beside me
Don't dare deny me, I'm not the mighty

Its no secret, it's no secret at all
I've been fighting, I've been learning to crawl
Lies, will heal all wounds
No matter how deep or wrong
It's no secret I've been losing touch
Its no secret, it's no secret at all
It's no secret at all
And so you find me here

I stand before you and your peers
Judge me, but only if you dare
I ask no mercy not a tear
And so you'll find me without a care
There is no darkness that I fear
I stand before you
I stand before you
