Here I Stand
By Evander Montgomery
HERE I STAND
AS A MAN
TAKING ACTION ON GOD'S COMMAND
BUT IT SEEMS WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE
IM SINKING IN SAND
I MEAN I'M FALLING SO DEEP
LIKE A DEEP SLEEP
LIKE A COMA
ITS LIKE I'M BACKED UP IN A CORNER
I JUST WANT WHAT I NEED
AND NOT I WANT
I THOUGHT I NEEDED JUST PURE BEAUTY
BUT NO I DON'T
I NEED ONE WHO IS BEAUTIFUL
INSIDE AND OUT
ONE WHO I CAN DEPEND ON WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT
ONE WHO IS THERE THRU IT ALL
WHETHER WE FALL
OR WE HAVIN A BALL
WE ARE ALWAYS SMILIN
ONE WHO WON'T GO OFFSIDES OR COMMITT TO FOULING
THIS IS SOMETHING
I HAVE COME TO EXPECT
AS I REFLECT
I HOPE THIS WILL CAUSE US TO CONNECT
AND WE WILL DEFLECT
THE DEFECTS
THAT WE SUFFER
IN THE LONG RUN IT MAKES US TOUGHER
AND NOT ROUGHER
BUT SMOOTH LIKE A FLOOR THAT HAS A BUFFER
BECAUSE IF I CAN GET THIS SPECIAL GIRL
I WILL INDEED CUFF HER
LIKE METRO
AND I WONT RESIGN FROM IT
LIKE FIDEL CASTRO
SO PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THIS
MY HEART IS OPEN LIKE MY HELPING HAND
IM A GOOD MAN HARD NOT TO FIND AND
