On This I Stand Lyrics

* send corrections to the typist



 



On this I stand



Two sets of footprints placed ahead of the dirt softened from tear drops



And overlooking the earth as the son of the moon



protected by a forcefield of pure thought.. On this I stand



A rally of unemployed disgrunt of words on for long journeys to somewhere



somewhere that only causes me pain as I strain my soul crammin into
rightness



so I can bring some there,



I bleed the blood of a cold stone that rolls without a shadow



I'm only deep enough to realize that I'm shallow



My head I keep it up but its hard to keep it straight



when you don't believe in love,



and you just cant cope with hate



Metal rust, leaves turn into dust,



as the difference between love and lust clarifies as trust



if you only had an hour to sum your whole life up



would you spend that hour sayin that an hour ain't enough



I've mistaken the shield that bound me a cowardess



now I'm faithful to the wind but compared to it I'm powerless



the first step was made, and it was a fair accomplishment



the pond was sittin still, so I threw a rock in it



and as my reflection rippled it all became clear



the seasons always change so there's no reason for fear



we made an autobiography of our pivotal years



its all I got and I'm giving it you because I care



A lot of the time humans are hard to stay susistent



self-projecting state of falsehood



were either too close to our image to stay objective in our conception,



or too far away to be subjective in any matter



this only widens our void in social conformity



introduced to our souls at birth and so I write.



I don't write without the intention of objectivity



or attention in the image



but only as an unright directional bridge



between the several flowing tunes scripture



reality is present in countless space and time



see I don't write for the future,



I write about the future, for the present



I write with my past, about the future, for the present.



On this I stand



The oasis of the limbo adjacent to my generation, facing out the window



waiting for some ventilation, patient while the wind blows



faceful in its demonstration, overall innovation.



On this I stand



A fountain of youth sovereignty, found in syllables more than a pound of
flesh



deep breath of achievement, a dream and a wake up call



another haul of the quest.



On this I stand



Another loved civilization.



On this I stand



The purity of creation.



On this I stand



A paradigm for self.



On this I stand



I thank you for your help.



On this I stand



My first born child.



On this I stand



Something for now.



On this I stand



Life, love, death and hate.



On this I stand



And helmwood, glad you could relate. Peace...
