Song lyrics Standing by Anthony Steward Head

Giles:
You're not ready
For the world outside
You keep pretending,
but you just can't hide
I know I said that I'd
Be standing by your side
But I

Your path's unbeaten,
And it's all uphill
And you can meet it,
But you never will
And I'm the reason that you're standing still
But I

I wish I could say
The right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I'm standing in the way

The cries around you,
You don't hear at all
'Cause you know I'm here
To take that call
So you just lie there when
You should be standing tall
But I

I wish I could
Lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could
Slay your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here
Your stalwart standing fast
But I'm
Standing in the way
I'm just standing
In the way
