Can't Stand Still

Critical, the state of my condition

Had no trust in my own intuition

Flappin' my wings, forsaken my prayer

Couldn't find the key to success anywhere

Then God showed me strength within

I realized I had the stuff to win

Now I don't have the answers and I never will

But I can't hold back and I can't stand still

Moss was growing 'round my feet

The water was only ankle deep

A fear of drowning always kept me stumbling

I stumbled through my mental blocks

The mental blocks that kept me locked

And chained to all my fears forever fumbling

I had to pick my feet up, set 'em down

Though the tide was swelling all around

I had to set my sights on the deeper current

Make the most of my deterrents

Now I'm moving on to higher ground

And I can't stand still

(Moving on) I got to keep on moving, brother

Can't stand still

(Kicking it up) One step and then another

Standing around, you can't prove nothing

Moving on fulfills, can't stand still

No, no, no, no

No standing still, keep moving on

No chance to run when life is gone

What are you waiting for, that fast lane of glory?

No better time to move than now

No better time, no way, no how

To fill those empty pages in your life story

You better pick your feet up, set 'em down

Though the tide be swelling all around

You better set your sights on the deeper current

Make the most of your deterrents

'Til you're moving on to higher ground

And you can't stand still

(Moving on) You got to keep on moving, brother, no, no

(Kicking it up) One step and then another

Running swift or walking mighty

You don't have time to kill, no, no

Got to make up your mind

You got some better days a-coming

So keep your motor humming

Got to leave your doubts behind

I know there's brighter days up ahead
