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 and unkind   I've 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
