Standing Still

This is the story of a man

Who could never grow old

Because he lives his life by schedules

And only does what he's told

-

He stayed right where he was

Always stuck in his prime

'Cause if you don't move forward

Then neither does time

-

He awoke in the morning

And laid down at night

At the same time everyday

And he thought that was right

-

But he then saw a movie

With the star's exciting life

And he wanted to move forward

And take the world by strife

-

Instead of eating breakfast

He slept in till noon

He wrote a great song

And sang with the tune

-

Before he knew it

His music brought him fame

It was his dream come true

This building a name

-

And each time he sang out a note

Time would sigh and move on

So he kept making music

And his life was soon gone

-

Now think of your life

Are you standing still?

Just live out your dream

And do what you will
