Somebody Stand By Me
It's quiet here tonight
There's a light burning far away
It burns in my heart
In the rain, in the dark
Well, this girl's gonna have her day
I've been this alone for so long
I'm beginning to wonder why
I stand in one place
Different name, different face
But no one's gonna see me
Break down and cry

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Lord, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
Won't somebody stand, stand by me

I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
I'm starting to know the sound
Of nothing and no one and yet everything
Well, if god's here tonight
Are you here tonight
Maybe you could grab me up
Lord, stand me on my feet
Give me strength and set me free
Cause I'm not giving in until I've had enough

Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Oh, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
So here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
Here I am
Won't somebody stand, stand by me
Stand by me, stand, stand by me
Won't somebody stand, stand by me
Lord, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go
Here I am
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
Won't somebody stand
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand, stand
Lord, I don't understand
What's slipping through these hands
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
When to let go
Here I am
