(Standin’ On) Shaky Ground
(lyrics by Benjamin Repp)
[verse 1]
Aimless feeling and tired eyes
You looked to long for the pie in the sky
All you wanted was a miracle
But now you feel its getting critical
[pre-chorus]
You can’t escape the shadows creeping in your mind
innuendos of another place and time
(chorus)
That’s why I’m standing on shaky ground
and I’m not sure how long I’ll be around
but I can’t lose what I’ve found
in a world of shattered dreams,
It’s hard to keep from losing ground
[verse 2]
- Somehow I can’t throw in the towel
Like the Alamo I can’t give up now
I’ve spent to long singing these songs
and all my friends have helped sing along
[pre-chorus]
* When I think of things I could have done
it fills my head with indecision
(chorus)
[break]
@ Lead me from the mirage of expectation
I don’t need any concrete destination
free me from all of my frustration
and make the way for a soul emancipation
- The cerebral vortex of what’s unknown
leaves me feeling cold and so alone
live my life with no regrets
but the harder I try the harder it gets
[pre-chorus]
* When I wonder where I’ll be in a year
The crystal ball gets so unclear
(chorus)
