Stand still
I feel myself sinking
And inside I’m thinking
That each movement I’m making
Is pulling me deeper
Stand still
Focus on what you say
Always be sure to convey
Emotional and fervency, there’s no time to waste
Our lives are at stake
Stand still
I can feel every breath
Pulse thumping closer to death
Wondering where we went wrong in the right
And if your lovely eyes will again see the sunlight
Stand still
Capture this moment please
Sinking beyond the knees
Torso receding as I hold close to you
Wondering when the sinking will be through
Stand still
Take the deepest of breaths
I can see you’re scared to death
Hold closer to me as we are swallowed whole
And may God rest our soul
Forever standing
Still

Stand still
I feel myself sinking
And inside I’m thinking
That each movement I’m making
Is pulling me deeper
Stand still
Focus on what you say
Always be sure to convey
Emotional and fervency, there’s no time to waste
Our lives are at stake
Stand still
I can feel every breath
Pulse thumping closer to death
Wondering where we went wrong in the right
And if your lovely eyes will again see the sunlight
Stand still
Capture this moment please
Sinking beyond the knees
Torso receding as I hold close to you
Wondering when the sinking will be through
Stand still
Take the deepest of breaths
I can see you’re scared to death
Hold closer to me as we are swallowed whole
And may God rest our soul
Forever standing
Still
