lyrics

STANDING ON SHOULDERS

I saw that photo for the first time
When I was a child
That little box of yellow letters
Did not seem worthwhile

Now the tree has grown older
And many colours change
I balance standing on their shoulders
And turn the page

Sometimes they’re lifting me up or bringing me down
There’s a beginning and an end

When you’re standing on shoulders
You’d be amazed to see what I found
Standing on shoulders a sight to see for miles ‘round

Felt that I was moving forward
The further back I peered
Finally found I was a story
Being steered

A poignant time a decision made a genetic carried dream
In the midst of evolution a reoccurring theme

When you’re standing on shoulders
You’d be amazed to see what I found
Standing on shoulders a sight to see for miles ‘round
Standing on shoulders ancestors understanding…standing

The gift that no-one has to start from zero in this long parade
The embryo secretly formed becomes design secretly made
Some say we’re moving backwards an opinion I do not subscribe
Understand life’s dreams and colours
We can somehow recognise

When you’re standing on shoulders
You’d be amazed to see what I found
Standing on shoulders a sight to see for miles ‘round

Standing on shoulders
You’d be amazed to see what I found
Standing
Standing
Standing
