I Stand Alone - Van Canto

As I lay to rest

And my blood’s slowing down

I feel the heart fading

And I wipe the sweat from my brows

It’s finally done

I made my way home

Struggling for minutes

A million hours or so

I ran seven miles and still

I have thousands to go

Same story again

I stand alone

And for every question

An answer is found

Thousands of voices are

Screaming new questions out loud

But I make a stand

I’m not gonna drown

Here I stand alone

With an innermost freedom

Like rivers coming home

(Here) I stand alone

Finding trust and forgiveness

In someone I know

And this goes to all my friends

I am with you and with me — until the end

For every crossing

Where two roads diverged

I fell one false decision

But still you find me on this earth

No matter how far

I made my way home

Is it you who’s diverging?

The very next day

All the roads seem to vanish

Youґre still here, so I have to stay

Same story again:

You stand alone
