The world runs fast

like a restless wind

Out of breath

it disappears

And I wear these years

like winter rain

Silver rivers

through my veins

There’s no time left

for empty pride

No strength in running

nowhere to hide

So stay with me

stay close tonight

The sea around

has lost its light

Your hand alone

through all this storm

still feels like home

I am not fading

I am becoming

More than the mirror

ever could see

While the whole world

breaks around us

Your love remains

solid ground beneath me

Solid ground

Solid ground

Once I feared

what time could take

Now I watch

the morning break

There’s silver fire

in my hair

And still some flame

is burning there

The world grows loud

with fear and noise

But your voice cuts through

like something pure

So stay with me

don’t drift away

Love me now

while we still may

The sea around

is wild and torn

Your heart alone

keeps me warm

I am not fading

I am becoming

The man the young boy

wanted to be

And if these eyes

carry sadness

They also carry

everything I’ve seen

Solid ground

Solid ground

Youth burns fast

like paper stars

Time leaves maps

inside our scars

Fate can give

or tear away

But you are here

and here I stay

The world runs fast

but not tonight

Your eyes still burn

through all this light

I am not fading

I am becoming

Stronger in truth

than I have ever been

The sea around

is wild and torn

Your hand alone

is solid ground

Solid ground

Solid ground

Solid ground

So let the years

come quietly

I no longer fear

what time will be
