Here I Stand - Envoys

Just a simple guy

Trying so hard to be useful

But he’s just getting annoyed

Says: If the joy of work

Is the one joy we’ve been given

Then I have surely been blessed with joy

And the everyday girl

Longing all year for the summer

But each day is just fall

Says: If the rising sun

Is the one true hope we’ve been given

Then the sunset defies it all

And there you go,

Searching for my faults and fallacies

You think: This forgives it all

And I remain,

A victim of my hopes and yearnings

I think: She doesn’t hear me call

— hear me call

It’s a working life

Even though some nights are starstruck

Most days are gloomy and grey

And they have a choice

The road leads strictly one way

No matter what they want, or say

And here I stand

Waiting for you to fulfil your promises

You say: I promised nothing at all

And there you are,

Browsing through your calendar

I say: There is no time left,

— no time at all
