When all my hopes and dreams
Have been betrayed
I stand before you
My hands are empty
I am yours
If you are mine
When I fall and stumble
Flat on my face
When I'm shamed and humbled
In disgrace
When voices call me
To question my faith
When misperception
Taints my love with hate
When time decides
It won't stop for me
When the hawks and vultures
Are circling
Writer(s): Tracy Chapman
