Your Slight Admiration Lyrics by Wendy Matthews

1997

Do you stand by the father
When you see the blood on his hands?
When he carries such fear in his heart
There's so much rage in the man

Do you stand by your lover
When he has what it takes to deceive?
When he's always been all that you've known
But never been all that you need?

And though I'll thank you forever
Still I need to be sure
That it was there, somewhere inside of me
There, unbroken and pure

If every life is a story
How long will I wait
For your slight admiration
To reach its natural fate?

Is it time to feel your own power?
Time to rip it apart?
Can you stand still in the fire
When it's time to break your own heart?

Now all I have is a mirror
And all I can see are the tears
All that's left is the madness
That reflects through the years

Do you stand by the father or do you stand by?
Do you stand by your lover or do you stand by?
Do you stand by forever or do you stand by?
Do you stand by your story or do you stand by?
Do you stand by your power or do you stand by?
Do you stand by the father or do you stand by?
Do you stand by your lover or do you stand by? (By)
