Edwin McCain - Good Enough Lyrics
When footsteps from that Sunday march faded out into the darkThe melody blows in to ease the painTwo thousand years and we're still here fighting over the same old fearThe muddy steps of hate can't stand this rainI'll stand up on this stage as if it was my altarI'll face down all the rage and no, I will not falterSay I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stayIn your heartThe mat on the floor says welcome, the sign on the door says noSays 'No coloreds allowed unless you're playing in the show'Well I've never seen a color except the ones up in the skyWhen I see this kind of hatred I die a little insideI'll stand up on this stage as if it was altarI'll face down all this rage and no, I will not falterSay I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stayAnd when you finish your song boy you've got to be on your wayBut if I'm good enough to play then I'm good enough to stayIn your heartThis one's for the Godfather, Duke, Ella, and the CountAnd for all those who fought their way here no matter the amountFor all of God's children walking through dumpsters in the backHad to finish their show and leave just because their skin was blackThey stood up on the stage as if it was their altarThey faced down all the rage and no, they did not falterThey were good enough to play but not good enough to stayAnd when they finished their songs boy they had to be on their wayThey were good enough to play and somehow they've always stayedIn our heartsAnd if I'm good enough to play then we've got to find the spaceIn our hearts
