Anthony Stewart Head Standing Lyrics

- You're not ready, for the world outside...
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide...
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side, but I...

Your path's unbeaten, and it's all uphill...
And you can meet it, but you never will...
And I'm the reason, that you're 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
I am standing in the way

The cries around you, you don't hear at all...
'Cause you know I'm here to take that call...
So you just lie there
When you should be standing tall, but I...

I wish I could lay... your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could slay... your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here...
Your stalwart standing fast
But I'm standing, in the way...
I'm just standing, in the way...
