sarah mclachlan - one in a long line lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[chorus]
’cause 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
the way i live, who i lie with, what i forgive
so why’s so hard to take me as i am?

[verse 2]
i try to see good in everyone
thе beating heart of our frailty
but it’s getting hardеr 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
[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
i’m feeling reckless, i’m feeling dire
don’t wanna lie in compliance
afraid to say what i really feel
f+ck 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

[chorus]
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
