We’ve been scorned
Had our hearts torn
We’ve been shamed
We’ve been defamed
We’ve faced every day
With darts coming our way
We’ve stumbled here and there
Not knowing who would care
We’ve spent some time
Remembering our prime
While wondering where to go
How to share what we know
We’ve faced naysayers galore
While praying for more
We’ve continued the journey
Meant for us only
Despite a rough landing
We’re still standing
We’ve had headache after headache
Didn’t know how much we could take
We’ve traveled far
While healing every scar
We’ve searched for solid ground
Not know how to turn around
We’ve felt some pain
Not knowing what we’d gain
We’ve been all alone
Wonder what we’d call our own
We’ve wondered what we’d face
As we continue our race
We’ve been used
We’ve been confused
We’ve searched for peace
We’ll never release
We’ve searched the soul
For what makes life whole
We’ve searched for love
Sent by heaven above
We’ve searched for the light
That shines day and night
We’ve fallen to our knees
Wondering who to please
But despite a rough landing
We’re still standing
