For years I stood still
But not for very long
Today is the start
Of how I’d sing my song
I’d sing it with intent
I’d sing on my own unique pace
Never without passion or purpose
And always in good taste
The years I stood still
I would long for a change
I would wait for a sign
I would pray to the saints
I yearned for something better
Something that’s worthwhile
Something I’d cherish and remember
Until the day I die
But the years I stood still
Time has passed me by
I am the same as before
And yet I keep asking why
I did as I was told
Followed the law, followed the rules
Afraid to bend them and to break them
Yet I still feel such a fool
Oh the years of standing still
I felt like a bird in a cage
I am here but just a mere display
Would I still be like this when I age?
No more wondering and pondering
But more doing instead
No need to be afraid, no need to wait and wait
Because I want to live before I’m dead
Yes, for years I stood still
But not for very long
Today is the start
Of how I’d sing my song
