VNV Nation - Standing (original) lyrics

rate me

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

as 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 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 lasts forever.

and will the world stay standing still at least for me.

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.
