When time stood still.

I remember when time stood still Slowed until there was none to kill I stood in alive among the frozen Those around me found me warm I unlike they, still had a sense of when From the standstill I had been torn I looked at the birds in flight in the sky Each on it's way to a place far from home They do it though they don't know why Yet still they fly and still they roam The sun shone through the august leaves Painting the world their ancient hues On the river side on that eve of eves Why time had stopped, I had no clue I remember when time stood still Slowed until there was none to kill But in the same instant sprang back alive And I guess I'll never ever know why
