Lyrics

I Stand Corrected
Words & Music by Joy Zimmerman

You can’t please everyone, I stand corrected
I know love sometimes hurts more than expected
When I haven’t claimed my power, I let my path grow smaller
Treasures I held close have swept away

I stand corrected with tales of past mistakes
Connected to all who also fell from grace
Reflected in those holding fast against the storm
We get back on our feet again

Seemed Earth could not grow hotter, I was wrong
The Capitol seemed safe all along
Truth is up for grabs, we’re lost in sinking sand
Without the anchors we once took for granted

I stand corrected with tales of past mistakes
Connected to all who also fell from grace
Reflected in those holding fast against the storm
We get back on our feet again

I’ve detected waves will not get calmer
As suspected, our resolve will be stronger

Thought my wounds would not mend, I was surprised
Did not foresee losing friends who took sides
Hard times visit everyone no matter how the story’s spun
Don’t be fooled by glossy photos every time

I stand corrected with tales of past mistakes
Connected to all who also fell from grace
Reflected in those holding fast against the storm
We get back on our feet again
We get back on our feet again
We get back on our feet again
