Stand Still
Pressure to do good
to do right
to be the one that anybody can count on
and turn to when they need a shoulder
or a hug
or a friendly face
What can I change
when the world around me is already changing?
What can I do
to make the world stand still?
Pressure to be good
to be right
to do the one thing nobody else can
and make something out of nothing
for a smile
or a loving look
What can I change
When I'm already the best I can be?
What can I be
when being me is not enough?
Pressure to find good
to find right
to turn around and find the happines
and share it with the the whole world, my world
for a moment
or a little less
What can I change
When the world cannot see what I see?
What can I do to show them....
to make the world stand still?
