Songs:Here I Stand (94124)

Lyrics

here i stand
©1981, 2005 rod macdonald (blue flute/ascap)

i've been trying to find a way to climb this mountain all day
a trail out on the sand
i'm overwhelmed by what i see carved out by the centuries
barely touched by man

and here i stand before you my two legs in your wind
i bring my song before you just to see your face again

i'm not  a man who'll often try to climb on a place this high
but here i'm not afraid
things that go more high i know, the clouds make shadows down below
where my shadow stays

and if i've got a tale to tell i must sing my song so well
you will hear it somewhere
for just another man am i who stands here pressed against this sky
raising his voice on high to you out there

but i must go back to where i came, mind the wind, heed the rain
sing a song that's true
but if this moment in the sun could be shared by everyone
they'd see the work you do
