You know this hard for me
Facing the judgment of history
I'm a small man, I never stood up
Against anything at all
Always been just another brick in the wall
It's hard to know how to make a change
It's hard to give up what you got and walk away
So I got to go now and face this day
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
You know it's so hard to fight on your own
Against the fading of the light
From the school to the church to the heart of the state
To the invisible power of the hidden hand of hate
Where was I when this all began
From the father to the son to the man
So I gotta now and face this day
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
