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
