Lauren Anderson - Stand Still Lyrics

The world keeps moving
But I am still
Blowing right past me
Like a breeze through a mill

I'm told its a race
But that doesn't seem fair
The faster I move
The slower I'm there

Like in a tornado
Everybody seems scared
What will it take
And who will it spare
And I try to run
But it seems I forgot
So I'll be right here
You can join me or not

But I hope you'll stay with me for a while
Please stay with me, just for now
I know life is passing on through
But please stay, I wanna stand still with you

With you by my side I don't feel so old
The wind stops howling and I'm no longer cold

I know what surrounds us is trouble and pain
But let them moan. In here we'll remain

So please stay with me for a while
Stay with me, just for now
I know life is passing on through
But please stay, I wanna stand still with you
