I Stand Before You

It's no secret I've been down and out
  It's no secret at all
  I've been fightin' shadows off my back
  To learn how to walk I must crawl
  Lies will heal all my wounds
  No matter how deep or wrong
  It's no secret I've been losing touch
  It's no secret, it's no secret at all
  And so here you find me
  I stand before you and your peers
  It's no secret at all
  Judge me, but only if you dare
  I stand before you
  I stand before you without a care
  There's no reason that I stand and shout
  There's no reason at all
  I find myself in a cold, hard, world
  I feel that I don't belong
  Time will break all the rules
  No matter how true or how strong
  There's no reason that I cry out loud
  There's no reason, there's no reason at all
  And so you find me here
  I stand before you and your peers
  Judge me, but only if you dare
  I stand before you
  I stand before you without a care
  And so you find me, stand here beside me
  Don't dare deny me, I'm not the mighty
  it's no secret, it's no secret at all
  I've been fighting, I've been learning to crawl
  Lies, will heal all wounds
  No matter how deep or wrong
  It's no secret I've been losing touch
  it's no secret, it's no secret at all
  It's no secret at all
  And so you find me here
  I stand before you and your peers
  Judge me, but only if you dare
  I ask no mercy not a tear
  And so you'll find me without a care
  There is no darkness that I fear
  I stand before you
  I stand before you
