Standing (Moderato Declamando)

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 lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me
Through my eyes stare into me
I bear my heart for all to see
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anything
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me
I let the wind run through my hands
before I turned to walk away
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear

And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me

Through my eyes stare into me
I bear 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 moment last forever?
Though seasons change and things come to pass
remain inside of me

I'm fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?

I had no faith before that time in any vow or deed
Days followed days and years were meaningless
Despite the wisdom of my defeat
I still bare my heart for all to see the wonders that I've seen
all the wonder that that I've seen

I'm fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?

Through my eyes stare into me
I bear 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 moment last forever?
Though seasons change and things come to pass
remain inside of me

I'm fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever
And will the world stay standing still at least for me?

Will this world?
Oh will this world?
Why won't this world
stay still for me?
