I Stand

People push your mind to hard
With truth you may find ease
The skies are blue the trees are green
Unbound where you’re guard is down
I stand there watching the despair
I stand there to repair
I stand there in air waiting for a glare
Wrestling with confusion you find no solution
With truth you may find ease
All you feel is breeze of distain
Working hard to fill that pain
I stand there to deal with your pain
I stand there pushing with all fours
I stand there hoping to be yours
With truth you may find ease
I stand there hoping to please
I stand there on my knees full moon in hand
I want you to stand
So that we might band in the hopes that we stand…
