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 Sister, brother, there's a fire on the hill And it's burning like a lantern Making all this time stand still I'm standing, I'm standing, I'm standing I'm standing, standing, standing 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, standing, I'm standing Standing in the shadow of the hill --- Standing - Patty Griffin
