I Stand Alone

(album: A Storm To Come - 2006)

As I lay to rest
And my blood's slowing down
I feel the heart fading
And I wipe the sweat from my brows
It's finally done
I made my way home

Struggling for minutes
A million hours or so
I ran seven miles and still
I have thousands to go
Same story again
I stand alone

And for every question
An answer is found
Thousands of voices are
Screaming new questions out loud
But I make a stand
I'm not gonna drown

Here I stand alone
With an innermost freedom
Like rivers coming home
(Here) I stand alone
Finding trust and forgiveness
In someone I know
And this goes to all my friends
I am with you and with me until the end

For every crossing
Where two roads diverged
I fell one false decision
But still you find me on this earth
No matter how far
I made my way home

Is it you who's diverging?
The very next day
All the roads seem to vanish
You're still here, so I have to stay
Same story again:
You stand alone
