You could stand there,
stand there waiting.
You could wait there
for the storm.
You could stand there,
stand there broken,
stand there waiting for the fire.
You could stand there,
stand there vacant.
You could remain there
empty inside.
You could stand there,
stand there hiding,
stand there cowering
from the shadows.
Yes you could stand there,
stand there lonely,
stand there without a soul.
