Look at all the lonely hearts
Shivering out in the dark
Hiding from the truth
Cover up the proof
Demons that I’ve tried to hide
Imprison me in my own lies
And all that I can do is cover up the proof
Don’t be afraid to…

Stand up!
Stand up if you’re broken
Stand up!
Stand up if you feel ashamed
You are not alone when you hurt this way
Stand up!
Stand up if you need love
Stand up!
This is not judgment day
You don’t have to hide
There’s no need to run
Everything will be okay

Secrets got me torn apart
Trying to destroy my heart
But I can see the light
It’s cutting through the night
Don’t run away
(Don’t run away)
Don’t be afraid to…

You say You love me
That’s all I’ll ever need
If You say I’m good enough
That’s good enough for me

Behind the Song:
"It seems like there’s a lack of brotherly grace when it comes to the sins of others. As a result, Christians become so ashamed of their failures that they work to hide them at all costs. This leaves everyone pretending to be perfect. As a result people feel so alone when they make a mistake and outsiders feel completely alienated. It’s our hope that people will begin to break free from this tendency and instead of having to run away when they fall down, they will be able to fall into the arms of a friend who understands. Then we will truly have the community that Jesus came here to create." - Dawn Richardson (Fireflight)
