I hold the fire here in my hands From where I stand, it's got no meaning And when I'm falling, how will I know? 'Cause I can't let go, that same old feeling The silver glowing as you're dancing here with me Not far behind, I hear the world above calling out If I was someone, would you let the moment pass? A flash of sunlight catches on the glass that cuts my eye My hands are shaking as you're dissecting me I feel the moment and the tension feeds my appetite The truth is changing as I'm underneath the dark sky We're taking chances, moving to a place that's deep inside The silver glowing as you're dancing here with me Not far behind, I hear the world above calling out If I was someone, would you let the moment pass? A flash of sunlight catches on the glass that cuts my eye My hands are shaking as you're dissecting me I feel the moment and the tension feeds my appetite The truth is changing as I'm underneath the dark sky We're taking chances, moving to a place that's deep inside I shake the moment from where it lasts I take your hand, it gives new meaning The night is calling and far below The waterfall, that's such a feeling The silver glowing as you're dancing here with me Not far behind, I hear the world above calling out If I was someone, would you let the moment pass? A flash of sunlight catches on the glass that cuts my eye My hands are shaking as you're dissecting me I feel the moment and the tension feeds my appetite The truth is changing as I'm underneath the dark sky We're taking chances, moving to a place that's deep inside The silver glowing as you're dancing here with me Not far behind, I hear the world above calling out If I was someone, would you let the moment pass? A flash of sunlight catches on the glass that cuts my eye My hands are shaking as you're dissecting me I feel the moment and the tension feeds my appetite The truth is changing as I'm underneath the dark sky We're taking chances, moving to a place that's deep inside And when we get here, how will we know? How will we know? How will we know? And when we get here, how will we know? How will we know? How will we know?

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair Picked up a pencil and wrote, "I love you" in my finest hand Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new All alone in California and talking to you And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned I guess it's too early, 'cause I don't know where I stand Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand

Seen the world It's crumbling all around me A place to go Where I felt safe In search of help I fell down on my knees I pray to lord Please keep my way Doors open I've never know When I ask faith He'll show me which way to go Chorus: When the road gets rough I've got to stand Or else I'll fall In God's creation I know where I stand Temptation sings Its songs are loud and clear But I won't let my feet stray from this path Not even for all my heart I know, I know, I know my mission Is to walk as light as I can To keep you looking up When I'm feeling down Keep my feet on the ground Take it step by step and He'll show me which way to go My age combines wisdom Nor sliver of gold Chorus: When the road gets rough I've got to stand Or else I'll fall In God's creation I know where I stand He'll show me which way to go My age combines wisdom Nor sliver of gold When the road gets rough I've got to stand Or else I'll fall In God's creation I know where my salvation lies I know, I know, I know In God's creation I know, I know, I know, I know, I know There are some things That I may not know Sometimes the hills are hard Are hard to climb But I know, I know, I know Someone who has the plan Chorus: When the road gets rough I've got to stand Or else I'll fall In God's creation I know where I stand
