I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow You're a boy and I'm a girl You're a girl and I'm a boy This girl I know needs some shelter She don't believe anyone can help her She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage But you don't want to

No one sees the things you do Because I stand in front of you But you drive me all the time You put the evil in my mind I used to sing and say my prayers Live my life without a care Now I have become a fool I tried to listen to the mule How can I change

Every picture tells a story don't it? Spent time feelin' inferior standing' in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ways, but I came out lookin' just the same Daddy said, son, you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to

You wanna be a star But you don't know who you are But you can't stand the light I'm gonna make my style Break, I wanna break the moon Get it, get it up, get it on the ride I'm the captain of my own life Hide in front of my eyes, I'm gonna make you mad

I started with nothing, I've got nothing to lose I'm a soul survivor, I made it through the fire Damn frustrating that you think I could never make it Look who's standing right in front of you Yes, it's me What you doing? Did you think you would see me

There you are, standing right in front of me No, I don't wanna wait forever Forced fear falls away to leave me naked Hold me close 'Cause I need you to guide me to safety The perfect words never crossed my mind 'Cause there was nothing in there but you I

'Cause your love is my love And my love is your love It would take an eternity to break us And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us If tomorrow is judgment day And I'm standing on the front line And the Lord asks me what I did with my life I will say I

All that you want Is standing right in front of you All that you need It's all for you I saw your face, stuck in a crowd Silently screaming out loud I felt the beat echo your heart Throw me a line 'cause it's too far

Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine So this is me swallowing my pride And I go back to December all the time I go back to December

'Cause your love is my love And my love is your love It would take an eternity to break us And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us If tomorrow is judgment day And I'm standing on the front line And the Lord asks me what I did with my life I will say I
