Stand Sure Name

Though this world is won with violence
You are a sea of endless calm
Though I denied you in crooked days
Your name has never suffered harm

I've seen a world fracture with change
Seen life dissolve within a broken frame
I've seen love traded for fame
But you've never lost your stand sure name

Offering my good intentions
I know all things will be made true
Strays and doubters always knew your face
They never left the sight of you

All these things are just a whisper
All politics and pain
These things, just a whisper
In the shadow of that name
Hope is not a rumour
Heaven is not a mile away
It is as close as the blood within my veins
As steady as your stand sure name
