You Stand Watching

I always do my very best

I put myself to the test

because I know that

You stand watching

You stand watching

You multiply talents that are used

and take away those that are abused

I feel your presence

your effervescence

You know I sense that

You stand watching

You stand watching

I want to continue

this wild ride

You know I've tried

to go with the tide

cuz

You stand watching

You stand watching

I thank You for Your support

and always try to be a good sport

You know I just am that sort

cuz

You stand watching

You stand watching




Author's Notes/Comments: 

My favorite singer/songwriter, all around nice guy, Ryan Cabrera, has a new album coming out called You Stand Watching but there is no song with that title so it inspired me to write this.Thanks for the inspiration, Ry...and it is a prayer of sorts and I wrote this at like 3AM and like 6 hours later won tix to see Ryan at a CD release party...like the inspiration happened and the prayer was answered...I am still in shock and feel so lucky and blessed and so thankful...WOW! You can listen to it now on the leak at mtv.com....listen and love it like I do and go out and buy it Sept 20! I love it...He is so talented... I am so lucky to be able to see him again...I was very lucky to meet him in February, something his mom set up for his messageboard members...anyways, check out my three Ryan Cabrera poems here...he is special to me, I really relate to his music and he is the same age I was when I fell into a band ages ago and I am so happy for him and I can't wait to see him again and thank God that it was meant to be and happened...I can't wait!
