Standing [song Lyrics]; Copyrighted - Jennifer Hanners Poem by Jennifer Hanners

It’s not the night that I fear…just a night without you.
I’m afraid of the dark with no light coming through.

1st verse:
I should’ve died; I should’ve lost my life…long ago.
Been paralyzed, unfeeling, and breathing slow.
But there’s a reason now I feel the wind.
And it makes me, makes, makes me want to live again.

Chorus:
And the reason I’m alive, and the reason I can breathe, and the reason I am me is standing.
And the reason I can move and the reason I can feel and the reason I am real is standing…
Here.

2nd verse:
Wasted days and wasted years and wasted love, I cry for me.
Minutes gone and hours gone and I want them back so I can be
more than just a person who is wasted.
I wanna little bit of this life that I just tasted.

Chorus:
And the reason I’m alive, and the reason I can breathe, and the reason I am me is standing.
And the reason I can move and the reason I can feel and the reason I am real is standing…
Here.

Bridge:
I am on the edge, covered in death. Wake me up, give me breath.
Shake me, shake me from the inside…open, open up this grave where I reside.

‘cause you’re the reason, you’re the reason, you’re the reason, you’re the reason…

Chorus:
And the reason I’m alive, and the reason I can breathe, and the reason I am me is standing.
And the reason I can move and the reason I can feel and the reason I am real is standing…

here…it’s not the night that I fear, just a night without you.
