stand still
Sp Double Feat. C. Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wandered through the woods
Searchin' for my daddy through the pines.
I guess I took a wrong turn
Somewhere along the way
But the Bible said
Seek and ye shall find
Adventure turned to fear
And, when I finally found my way back home
His words I still can hear
[Chorus]
Stand still!
When you're in the dark.
Listen to your heart
And pray for God's will
Stand still
Adrift in the wind
Your voice within
Will be your best friend
Stand still, and pray
Stand still
Now that I'm a grown man
On my own and on my way
I've got my own decisions to be made
And when I'm at the crossroads
Unforsure and unforeseen,
I bow my head
And with these words I pray.
[Chorus]

When I was just a little boy
As a child, I roamed around the forest aimlessly
I wandered through the woods
I wandered and searched in the forest
Searchin' for my daddy through the pines.
I searched for my father in the woods amidst the trees
I guess I took a wrong turn
I made a mistake and went in the wrong direction
Somewhere along the way
At some point during my journey
But the Bible said Seek and ye shall find
The Bible taught me that if I search, I will eventually discover what I am looking for
Daylight turned to darkness
The sun set, and darkness fell
Adventure turned to fear
What started as an adventure turned into fear
And, when I finally found my way back home
When I eventually returned to where I started
His words I still can hear
I still remember the words my father said
[Chorus] Stand still! When you're in the dark. Listen to your heart And pray for God's will Stand still Adrift in the wind Your voice within Will be your best friend Stand still, and pray Stand still
In times of difficulty or uncertainty, it's important to be still and introspective, listen to your heart and inner voice, and pray for God's guidance and will
Now that I'm a grown man
Now that I am an adult
On my own and on my way
Independent and on my own path
I've got my own decisions to be made
The decisions I must make are now mine to make
And when I'm at the crossroads
When I reach a point of decision
Unforsure and unforeseen,
When there is uncertainty and unpredictability
I bow my head
I humbly pray
And with these words I pray.
I recite these words as a plea to God for guidance.
