[Verse 1:]
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 disgruntled words long for long journeys to somewhere
Somewhere that only caused me pain as I strain my soul cramming it with light
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 can't 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 escaped the shell that bound me to cowardice
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
Seasons always change so there's no reason for fear
We made an autobiography of our pivotal years
It's all I got and I'm giving it to you because I care
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 disgruntled words long for long journeys to somewhere
Somewhere that only caused me pain as I strain my soul cramming it with light
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 can't 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 escaped the shell that bound me to cowardice
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

Seasons always change so there's no reason for fear
We made an autobiography of our pivotal years
It's all I got and I'm giving it to you because I care
