Hold Your Fire

TIME STAND STILL

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath,
Before I start off again
Driven on,
Without a moment to spend
To pass an evening
With a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause,
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim ‹
Who learns to transcend ‹
Learns to live
As if each step was the end

Time stand still ‹
I'm not looking back ‹
But I want to look around me now
See more of the people
And the places that surround me
Now

Freeze this moment
A little bit longer
Make each sensation
A little bit stronger
Experience slips away...

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defenses down ‹
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause ‹
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain,
Whose ship runs aground ‹
I can wait until the tide comes around

Make each impression
A little bit stronger
Freeze this motion
A little bit longer
The innocence slips away...

Summers going fast ‹
Nights growing colder
Children growing up ‹
Old friends getting older
Experience slips away...
