Stand Still


I slide to stand still and I grit my teeth

as the world just sweeps me off my feet.

And I swing my hand out to you slowly.

You look like you could use some rest,

but you sit up in bed at night instead.

Lay your head so you can sleep.


Unclinch your fist and reach for me.

Open your heart, make it beat for me.

Lay your head, may it dream of me.



You look like you could use some rest,

but you sit up in bed at night instead.

Lay your head so you can sleep.



Unclinch your fist and reach for me.

Open your heart, make it beat for me.

Lay your head, may it dream of me.



And I will breathe so you can feel my energy.

Just shut your eyes and count to ten.

If you can, imagine your favorite song.

I'll hum the tune and you can sing along

so you're not alone.
