Standing and Waiting
I am one to obey..
I am the one who refused the dance of a thousand fools.
I've been forced to suffer the wind and the rain,
And stand transparent to the world around me.
Here is the spot I'll stand in a thousand years
Long after the dance has carried the fools away
Even after my body has given in to the grip of time
My place will remain unchanged,
So I'm easily found when you need me most,
I'm never out of reach.

Even after my body has given in to the grip of time
My place will remain unchanged,
So I'm easily found when you need me most,
I'm never out of reach.
