about

A song about finding a place to stand, when everyone is telling you to stand somewhere else.

lyrics

Looking back now through the years
Life ain't what it used to be
Back before these hopeless fears
Lives were happy, minds were free
I remember back when time was precious
Now we all just waste the day
Watching raindrops paint the concrete
An even deeper shade of gray
Will someone please tell me where to stand?
Because I don't know where I'm at
Will someone please tell me the answer
That nobody wants to reply back?

Have yourself another dream
But don't let it go, you've got to let it grow for me
Have yourself another thought
You once believed was lost, give it another shot for me

People these days, I don't understand them
And all their manipulating schemes
They try to control what we believe in
They try to destroy all our dreams
And then they tell us what to do next
And who exactly we should be
But we're not part of some silly little complex
And we don't need two eyes to see
Someone tell me where to stand
Because I don't know where I'm at
Someone please tell me the answer
Nobody wants to reply back

Keep holding on
Keep holding on now
We must be strong
Don't be too afraid to believe
