Album: Empires

Standing

Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems.
awaking wonders deep in me.
if nothing's ventured nothing's gained
so I must seize the day.
and fighting time so hard I pray
that this Moment last forever.
and will the world stay standing still,
at least for me.
through my eyes stare into me,
I bare my heart for all to see.
with my face turned to the sun.
there ever standing still.
And fighting time, so much I ask,
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change,
and things come to pass.
remain inside of me.
and fighting time so hard I pray
that this Moment last forever.
and will the world stay standing still,
at least for me.
It wasn't you,
it wasn't me,
it wasn't anyone.
It was a day so long awaited
and a chance to be as me.
I let the winds run through my hands
as I turned to walk away.
In distant days
I long to sense it all so clear.
I had no faith before that day
in any vow or deed.
Days followed days
and years were meaningless.
despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see
the wonders I'd seen.
