Stand still
This may hurt
Stand still
Do not blurt.
–
Stand still
Do not move
Stand still
Trying to soothe.
–
Stand still
Adjustments are hard
Stand still
In this regard.
–
Stand still
Hold your breath
Stand still
Feel the breadth.
–
Stand still
Is my creed
Stand still
Follow my lead.
–
Stand still
Life gets worse
Stand still
That’s our curse.
–
Stand still
Take pause
Stand still
Retract your claws.
–
Stand still
This is a test
Stand still
It’s for the best.
–
Stand still
Your cross to bear
Stand still
Life isn’t fair.
–
Stand still
Don’t react
Stand still
Call off the attack.
–
Stand still
You will achieve
Stand still
Just believe.
–
Stand still
It isn’t the end
Stand still
You’re not alone, my friend…
