Living Too Long On My Knees

Living Too Long On My Knees

By Paul McCann

Here I stand wrongly accused, so help me God today,

I’ve always been a child at heart , I don’t know what to say ,

so I’ll  bow my head in silence and now I start to pray ,

Lord you know I’m innocent , so raise  an alarm today  .

Raise an alarm , flash the light ,

ring the bell , start the fight ,

stand up for the wrongly accused ,

they’re  beaten up and abused .

Justice walk in a poor man’s shoes .

Tell me that I’m free to go  .

Free to come and go as I please ,

for I’ve  been living too long on my knees .

Defend me in my innocence, protect me from all harm,

the situations getting tense , time to raise an alarm ,

protect me from all those who intend to do me wrong ,

they’ve built a case to put me in a place I don’t belong .

Raise an alarm , beat the drum ,

send in the truth for everyone ,

let them know what’s going on  ,

show them what they’re doing wrong ,

Justice walk in a poor man’s shoes .

Tell me that I’m free to go  .

Free to come and go as I please ,

for I’ve  been living too long on my knees .
