I Stand With Love by Eric Eckhart Lyrics

Hard times come
See the lonely girls they die to catch the sun
Hard times stay
All the poor boys hide their tears and masquerade
Well tonight, I am far from my hometown
Where am I?
Someone tell me I’m alright

I’m tired of smiling
Even babies are allowed to cry at night
Leave me be
Go away with all your hateful ways you’re treating me
'Cause I know nobody can tell me, “everything will be alright”

Well I stood up
Loosed my tongue
I can’t sit back
The war’s begun
I don’t have much
But I have my voice
I’ve had enough
I’ve made my choice
I stand with you and not with them
Which side you on?
Which side my friend?
I stand with love
I stand with love

Will you lift your hand to those in need?
Will you give shelter to those who flee?
With open arms?
No walls around?
Love is resistance
Love won’t be bound

I stand with love
I stand with love
Love
