my new anthem
I've decided that I need a new anthem for the rest of 2006, something to signify my happiness and living my life to it's fullest.
Standing by VNV Nation is a song about living in the moment, and cherishing life, and never taking any moment for granted. It's that moment of realization how incredible life really is. Every second of every minute is a possibility to make memories. Make the most of our limited time here, go live and experience things. Sometimes there are defining moments in your life, moments that you want to capture and which change your life forever.
Standing
by VNV Nation
Eyes betray the soul
And bear its thinking.
Beyond words they say
So many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
Awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured nothing's gained,
So I must seize the day.
And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still
At least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun
There ever standing still.
It wasn't you it wasn't me
It wasn't anything.
It was a day so long awaited
And a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands
Before I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to
Sense it all so clear.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this moment last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me.
I had no faith before that time
In any vow or deed.
Days followed days and
Years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see
The wonders I'd seen.
The wonders I'd seen.
