| 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
|
| 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
|
| Here i am
|
| Won’t somebody stand, stand by me |
