In many ways, I never think twice.
With the everyday, I pay no mind.
Simple things hold, great expectations.
So far above, their place or due.
In another way, I’m begged the question:
“Do you trust Me?” and “How much?”
Deeper things draw, deeper tensions.
Reflecting life that’s lived with you.
Chorus
In the calm before the storm,
There is a moment of wait and see.
I just wanted you to know,
I’m holding on.
As the day rolls into night,
And then the darkness is closing in.
I will stand right here with you,
I’m holding on
Now looking back, I see more clearly.
The way things were, the way things are.
The truth unfolds, before my own eyes.
Time to stand up, and live this life!
Where I left it, is where I found it.
Safer hands, just don’t exist.
And even when, I just don’t get it;
I will never, be left alone.
Chorus
