Lyrics
"Still"
from the album "Still"
What is your passion when life is unsettled?
Where do you go when life is unturned?
What do you do when faced with the knowledge?
How do you start when you feel so unheard?
Hard to search your soul, then find it lacking.
Hard to hear your voice, then find it gone.
Removing feeling, what do we cherish?
I wonder where we've gone.
Chorus:
Still to feel
Still to fall
Still to make sense of it all
Still to feel
I'm scared to fall
Still to make sense of it all
Do you hold onto your convictions in disbelief?
How I must live I feel like distancing
I'm so tired of passing strength,
but it's the only thing I can give today.
Find a place where your voice matters
In doing this, bring spirit back to form
Shaped by how I must live in this place
And still I feel I don't belong.
Chorus:
Still to feel
Still to fall
Still to make sense of it all
Still to feel
I'm scared to fall
Still to make sense of it all
Bridge:
The way we move on when it hurts too much
The way we heal when the memories are still strong
The way we speak when we can't laugh out loud
The way we love when we can't move on
Now the strongest thing that I feel
is this weakness I shall leave
And if nothing else remains
it is hope I will believe.
Chorus:
Still to feel
Still to fall
Still to make sense of it all
Still to feel
I'm scared to fall
Still to make sense of it all
