Here I Stand

(Lyrics & Music Emiel Scholsberg)

I can't pretend, don't want to hide anymore
Sick and tired of waiting for my turn
So strange to see, I was blind before
Numb to what I feel, what's inside me


So much to learn, life is knocking on my door
Pounding on the windows to my soul


Gotta lively up myself, this reggae is another bag
Wrong I was wrong I was wrong so, never saw before
Gonna lively up myself, music from my own new bag
No hiding anymore, just got to hit the floor


Live can't be this cage I made
While freedom is banging at my gate
Don't know what's in store for me
Scared as hell, afraid to be


I was living in a cage of expectations
Asking for my own damnation
Now I know, I have to go, find my way
Lying to myself, it's the biggest violation
But now I know, and have to go find my way


Here I stand, I live this life
Breaking every single chain
I face my fears, face the storms
Refuse to ever slip away
Tears may fall, but I stand my ground
Holding on to my beliefs
Here I stand, so unleash your demons
and haunt me


Live can't be this cage I made
While freedom is banging at my gate
Don't know what's in store for me
Scared as hell, but I'll be me
