Lyrics:

STAND YOUR GROUND 

Don't want to scare you or make you fear the world 
But sadly this life's not what you're told 
Your dreams may guide you filling you with hope 
Though sadly you'll have to let some go 

Hold my hand - Sometimes it hurts 
When I'm gone - Recall those words 

You have to rise high - over every single blade 
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down 
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life 
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground 

The rain may fall down on your face 
This place is killing you - time just goes so slow 
With everything you have displaced 
This race is far too long, go on with the flow 

Hold my hand - We'll make it through 
When I'm gone - I'll watch over you 

You have to rise high - over every single blade 
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down 
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life 
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground 

Don't want to scare you, come and hold me tight 
Oh baby your life has just begun 
Your dreams will guide you through the darkest night 
Just wait and see, you will stand so strong 

Take my hand - I'll hold it tight 
When I'm gone - You will shine so bright 

You have to rise high - over every single blade 
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down 
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life 
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground 

You have to rise high - over every single blade 
That stand in ranks before they're tearing you down 
Be brave, be strong, be everything - The regiment of life 
Will wear you down, so stand your ground, stand your ground

Stand Your Ground

Track 3 of Project Godard

Song and lyrics: Hakon Sveinsson
Vocals: Diana Lind Monzon

LYRICS:

God - so great. They said. Is so great 
Fear - so good. Understood. Is so good 
Standing. In line. Up straight. Afraid 
Heeding. The word. But the sentence, is slurred 

Please - be sweet - be kind I don't know how to justify 
The - bitter words - that burn 
And I know they won't satisfy you 
Thinking so hard that it hurts 
I'm not afraid to die, but I don't want to see you cry 

His - are the words - that you speak - oblique 
The drug - for the masses - in your jug - in your classes 
So give - me your cry - I'll forgive - all your lies 
But spare - me the pain - I'll lay bare - for your gain

Offering

LYRICS: 
I say a prayer almost every day
At ten past two, that's when I first met you
The rain was hard and the sky was pale
When I met you

You wore all black but your eyes were bright
Something new, in a different hue
I never knew they had so much to hide
When I met you

Wet cobblestones, in my high heels constantly slipping
Falling so hard, for you
Mascara running down my face, the clothes all dripping
But somehow we pulled through

One day I'll fly, one day I'll be right next to you
Above the clouds, above the stars, with just us two
We'll be so happy when I am back with you
We'll be so happy in our heaven made for two

I hold the cup, you used to use
To drink your coffee in the morning sun
It has some cracks and the handle is loose
But they don't show

I keep the shirt you used to wear next to my pillow
Blending your smell with my tears
I buy new clothes, I change my hair but I can't let go
Not ready to face my fears

One day I'll fly, one day I'll be right next to you
Above the clouds, above the stars, with just us two
We'll be so happy when I am back with you
We'll be so happy in our heaven made for two

10 Past Two

An improved version(!) of this Pop/disco(?) song by Hakon, sung by the amaaaazingly talented and versatile Diana Lind Monzon.

LYRICS

I took a ride
I travelled backwards far in time
To way back when, then you were mine
And all was well and all was fine

I lost my mind here
I didn't know what I would find here
Only something wasn't there
I couldn't see you anywhere

But tonight we're gonna party like it's nineteen eighty two
And forget about the problems that went on with me and you
And I'll hold you tight, in to the darkest night
I'm with you again. We'll break through again. Tonight

I don't know when
It couldn't be much further than
It wasn't long ago that I
Thought I had wings and I could fly

And then it hit me
The clothes I wore, they didn't fit me
I could survive but never saw
I kept on getting the short straw

But tonight we're gonna party like it's nineteen eighty two
And forget about the problems that went on with me and you
And I'll hold you tight, in to the darkest night
I'm with you again. We'll break through again. Tonight

If I could - turn back time (I've got to)
Save my soul (I've got to)
Pray - it's not too late - to stay

But tonight we're gonna party like it's nineteen eighty two
And forget about the problems that went on with me and you
And I'll hold you tight, in to the darkest night
I'm with you again. We'll break through again. Tonight

1982

1982 again

Preliminary version of my latest song, as of June 2018.

WAITING FOR YOU 

Is it true you haven’t been at home for days?
Wandering the streets, tell me it’s just a phase
Is it true? Are you through?
I could feel my heart start beating fast as I was told
Just tell me this won’t last, that you’ll stop being cold
Please don’t fold, please grow old

Everytime you falter I’ll be by your side
Morning, noon and evening I will be your guide
I’ll be putting out the fires and tearing down the wires
So you’ll be safe
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...

I know it isn’t easy, I’ve been there before
And reaching out is hard when you are on the floor
Yes, I know - I know
But being at the end means you can start again
Come back in from the rain and let’s remove the chains
You’re not alone, just come home

Everytime you falter I’ll be by your side
Morning, noon and evening I will be your guide
I’ll be putting out the fires and tearing down the wires
So you’ll be safe
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...
I will be waiting for you...

LYRICS & CHORDS

Verses & Choruses: Am - F - C - G
Bridge: F - Am - C - G

VERSE 1
Behind my smile, I am black and blue
Beneath my laugh, are tears - it's true
Another moonlight - Another fight, with you
Behind my smile, I am black and blue

CHORUS
Well, can’t you hear me when I’m calling?
I’m right next to you
So won’t you catch me when I’m falling?
Don't let me fall through?

VERSE 2
In front of me, there’s a fading light
That’s burning fast, and I’m turning white
Another sunset - another wasted drop of tear
In front of me, is a fading light

CHORUS
Well, can’t you hear me when I’m calling?
I’m right next to you
So won’t you catch me when I’m falling?
Don’t let me fall through
Another moonlight - another pointless fight, with you
Well, can’t you hear me when I’m calling?
I’m right next to you

BRIDGE
My breath is tight
Yet I’m alright, I’m alright
Inside I hide
My hands are tied, my hands are tied

CHORUS
So can’t you hear me when I’m calling?
I’m right next to you
So won’t you catch me when I’m falling?
Don't let me fall through
Another moonlight - Another pointless fight, with you
So can’t you hear me when I’m calling?
I’m right next to you - Don’t let me fall through
