Standard (EADGBE)

Youre not ready for the world outside.

 You keep pretending but you just cant hide.

 I know I said that Id be standing by your side, but I...

Your paths unbeaten and its all uphill,

and you can meet it but you never will.

And Im the reason that youre standing still, but I...

 I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this land.

 Wish I could play the father and take you by the hand.

 Wish I could stay here, but now I understand,

 Im standing in the way.

The cries around you, you dont hear at all,

because you know Im hear to take that call.

So you just lie there when you should be standing tall, but I...

 I wish I could I lay your arms down and let you rest at last.

 Wish I could slay your demons, but now that time is past.

 Wish I could stay here, stalwart, standing fast, but

 Im standing in the way. Im just standing in the way.
