Standing on the shore watching the waves ripping into my soul

I thought it over and over

Tried to pace myself so I would not get burned to the core

Stared over my shoulder

Echoes on the wind are trying to warn me

Of the road up ahead and what I left behind

I watched the rain try to wash me away

I felt the wind try to blow me away

But I’m still standing

Im still standing

here

I built my wings upon a dream

Fly like an eagle through the stream

Escape the chains that grounded me forever

I knew the risks I had to take

And the choices I needed to make

To reach the stars I had to fly higher

Echoes on the wind tell me where do I begin

To rise like the phoenix from the ashes surrounding me

I watched the rain try to wash me away

I felt the sun try to melt me away

But I’m still standing

I’m still standing

here

Now that the time has come and gone

And I’ve been eaten by the sun

I will not mourn the time I have wasted

If I would not have played the game

I would have just faded away

I had to know how far I could drive myself

Echoes on the wind tell me how do I begin

To build stronger wings from the ashes surrounding me

I watched the sun try to melt me away

I felt the wind try to blow me away

But I’m still standing

I’m still standing

here
