friday refrain · weak but strong

Saturday 28 April 2007 | I like a cookie

standing

I’m standing in the shadow of the hill
I’m standing in the shadow of the hill
feel the fear everywhere
hope it don’t get me killed
I’m standing in the shadow of the hill

I’m standing in the shadow walking blind
I’ve been unfair & unkind
turned away from your suffering
far too many times
now I’m standing in the shadow walking blind

heavy-lidded and shy

oh sister oh brother
there’s a fire on the hill
and it’s burning like a lantern
making all this time stand still

mother I am weak but I am strong
standing in the darkness this long
but in the deepest darkness
I listen to your song
mother I am weak but I am strong

I’m standing
and I’m standing
I’m standing
I’m standing
standing in the shadow of the hill

NB by the way that if you do not select an avatar one will be dictatorially assigned to you. And it may not be all that pretty. I'm just saying.
