Here I stand Tall and strong in all my splendor Where the white sands converge with the warm waters In a place that affords the kind of bliss most hope to remember I have witnessed the sunrise Have stood in awe of the sunset Some thought they would soon see my demise During so many trying times I cannot seem to quite forget On the horizon I saw the coming of many a storm Braced myself for the worst Waves come violenty crashing against me with waters so warm Unwelcome but familiar this storm is not my first Winds enraged mercilessly battering I bend My tall strong frame close to breaking is far from flattering Yet after the storm passes I still stand as many don't seem to comprehend My roots run quite deep Deep into this world I so very love Here I stand firm awaiting the rise of the sun as I look forward to dancing in the breeze of a night sky as my soul needs not any sleep For those who were certain that I would finally give in to the storm I know not what you speak of I bend I don't break I hold on no matter what life my way shall send I bend For I have learned stand again no matter what it may take.

Bend
Here I stand Tall and strong in all my splendor Where the white sands converge with the warm waters In a place that affords the kind of bliss most hope to remember I have witnessed the sunrise Have stood in awe of the sunset Some thought they would soon see my demise During so many trying times I cannot seem to quite forget On the horizon I saw the coming of many a storm Braced myself for the worst Waves come violenty crashing against me with waters so warm Unwelcome but familiar this storm is not my first Winds enraged mercilessly battering I bend My tall strong frame close to breaking is far from flattering Yet after the storm passes I still stand as many don't seem to comprehend My roots run quite deep Deep into this world I so very love Here I stand firm awaiting the rise of the sun as I look forward to dancing in the breeze of a night sky as my soul needs not any sleep For those who were certain that I would finally give in to the storm I know not what you speak of I bend I don't break I hold on no matter what life my way shall send I bend For I have learned stand again no matter what it may take.
