Nowhere To Stand Lyrics - K. D. Lang

as things start to surface 

and tears come on down 

the scars of childhood 

in a small town 

the hurt she pushed inward 

is starting to show 

now she'll do some talking 

but he'll never know 

the tables have turned now 

with a child of her own 

but she's blind to the difference 

what's taught is what's known

numbed by reaction 

and stripped of the trust 

a young heart is broken 

not aware that it's just 

a family tradition 

the strength of this land 

where what's right and wrong 

is the back of a hand 

turns girls into women 

and a boy to a man 

the rights of the children 

have nowhere to stand 

Photos 

the memories of children 

are written in stone 

and some they get buried 

not to be shown 

but still they do linger 

deep down inside 

like a seed that's been planted 

and won't be denied
