Standing

Giles:

You're not ready

For the world outside

You keep pretending

But you just can't hide

I know I said that I'd be

Standing by your side

But I....

Your path's unbeaten

And it's all uphill

And you can meet it

But you never will

And I'm the reason

That you're standing still

But I...

I wish I could say the right words

To lead you through this land

Wish I could play the father

And take you by the hand

Wish I could stay

But now I understand

I'm standing in the way

The cries around you

You don't hear at all

'Cause you know I'm here

To take their call

So you just lie there

When you should be standing tall

But I....

I wish I could lay your arms down

And let you rest at last

Wish I could slay your demons

But now that time has passed

Wish I could stay

Your stalwart, standing fast

But I'm standing in the way

I'm just standing in the way
