lyrics

i won't let this go long or tie tongue in monologue my foot is firmly placed on the steps that lead from this place yes things could have been different they still could be but any change will have to take place without me

you can't see where i've gone know that i'm standing on

my breath's been weak and shallow from lungs silent and hollow but this small breath i have left it may yet fuel a victor i've legs on which to stand i'll take it like a man

when the alternative is to stay here and suffer

you can't see where i've gone know that i'm standing on something strong

i've said it before and accomplished naught yes, i've been rich in thought with little to show but now the arrow's left the quiver and rests against the bow

torrent, current, calm i know i'm where i belong
