VNV Nation - Standing (Still) lyrics

Eyes betray the soul and bear its 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 pa** Remain inside of me And 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 defeat I bore my heart for all to see, the wonders I'd seen The wonders I'd seen 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 pa** Remain inside of me And fighting time so hard I pray That this moment lasts forever And will the world stay standing still, at least for me
