One In a Long Line (Explicit)

One In a Long Line (Explicit) - Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics by：Sarah McLachlan/Anne Preven

Composed by：Sarah McLachlan/Anne Preven

Produced by：Tony Berg/Will Maclellan

Don't block the sun from warming me

When it's so cold in this forest

And heavy branches hang over me

And winds whisper in chorus

I have a soft side and a forgiving heart

But don't mistake me for weak

I've traveled roads that you will never roam

I carry treasures you will never own

'Cause I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind

And I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide

The way I live who I lie with what I forgive

So why's so hard to take me as I am?

I try to see good in everyone

The beating heart of our frailty

But it's getting harder to find common ground

When you wanna derail me

I am a livewire I am a searing ember

Rising from the deep

The sound and fury of our mothers' voices

All they fought for carrying me

I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind

I've worked hard to know myself you don't get to decide

What I believe what I give up how I grieve

So take your dirty hands off of my wheel

I'm feeling reckless I'm feeling dire

Don't wanna lie in compliance

Afraid to say what I really feel

**** your judgment your violence

I am a wildfire I am a forest burned

But I will rise you'll see

And if you think that you can bring me down

Well go ahead and call the cavalry

I am one in a long line sound of body strong in mind

I've worked hard to know myself

You don't get to decide to whom I serve

'Cause in my world respect is earned

'Cause I am one in a long line

One in a long line

One in a long line
