Let all the world turn and stare
Right at me
‘Cause I won’t rush around like crazy
I don’t care
They’re never getting anywhere
Not happy
But they won’t let themselves see
They don’t dare
And the one thing they can’t sacrifice is time
‘Cause it’s go, go, go
In this fast-paced world we live in
But I won’t be giving in, no, no
‘Cause it’s so, so, so
Empty when it’s You we’re missing
But I won’t be living that way, no
I’m standing still for You
Let all the world stop and hear
Listen to me
To stop pretending they’re free
Enslaved by fear
They’ve lost all they hold dear
Hearts empty
I pray someday they will see
Oh, so clearly
That love has become the sacrifice for time
‘Cause it’s go, go, go
In this fast-paced world we live in
But I won’t be giving in, no, no
‘Cause it’s so, so, so
Empty when it’s You we’re missing
But I won’t be living that way, no
I’m standing still for You
In the quiet I hear Your voice, my God
I can feel You whisper peace to my soul
In my solitude, You’re with me, my Lord
I won’t be afraid, You are in control
Well it’s go, go, go
In this fast-paced world we live in
But I won’t be giving in, no, no
‘Cause it’s so, so, so
Empty when it’s You we’re missing
But I won’t be living that way, no
I’m standing still for You
