Standing — VNV Nation

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 much I ask. I will this moment last forever. Though seasons change and things come to pass Remain inside of 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.
