One Stand Isn'T Enough

Instead of shattering away my dismay, You turned the cold shoulder today Forgiveness is on my tongue thankfully You took it for granite and I have no pity Let go of me, Your gravity Please leave me be, My reality For, I’ll be the one who’s standing I’ll be the one…I’ll be the one… I’ll be the one who’s standing On both feet… I couldn’t even catch my train of thought I’m tired of pretending to understand you Too many emotional battles I have fought Typical of you to ignore me like you do You don’t understand My heart is like the serene moon No need to hold my hand I’ll step out of the darkness soon For, I’ll be the one who’s standing I’ll be the one…I’ll be the one… I’ll be the one who’s standing On both feet… Heaven and hell collide into nothingness I made progress to eliminate the distress However, the world might view me as insignificant I’d rather not be the giant, but the hardworking ant I watched you give in To failure, a corrupted win You are a believer still Just trust in your will You’re strong enough to fight your demons of woe Don’t leave room for mere sin to overwhelm you so For, I’ll be the one who’s standing I’ll be the one…I’ll be the one… I’ll be the one who’s standing On both feet… My soft voice is fading away in the commotion Your touch feels so good on my skin like lotion I guess there’s no trace of me in your clever mind I’m making this a big deal, being foolish and blind So, don’t worry about a thing, it’s not your fault Let go of me and I will fall apart Nevermind, my heart has come to a sudden halt Hold on to me, unhardened heart For, I’ll be the one who’s standing I’ll be the one…I’ll be the one… I’ll be the one who’s standing On both feet… Don’t give up no matter what – well, that’s what you told me Don’t ever lose sight of hope that will gather you up with glee You don’t feel like a vigilant knight You were always fearful day and night Afraid you’ll lose all remaining control The atmosphere awakens your soul For, you’ll be the one who’s standing You’ll be the one…you’ll endure the run You’ll be the one who’s standing On both feet…you are not alone, For glory is out there somewhere All along, you are not on your own You’ll find your way out of this nightmare… Gravity can’t make you feel incomplete… Because you will be landing on both feet… While I’ll be the one who’s standing With a sad teardrop across my face Yet, all of me will not stop fighting Until God helps me with His grace
