Somebody Stand by Me

Mh-mm

Mh-mh, mhmm

Ho-ho, yeah

Mh-mh-mh-mh

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 is 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 know I'd know when to let go

Here I am (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 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 know whats slipping through these hands

You'd think by now I'd know when it's time to let go

So here I am (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 by me)

Stand, stand by me (stand by me just one time)

Won't somebody stand by me?

Let me, let me, just stand by me (stand by me just one time)

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 (here I am)

And I'm throwing down my one last hope

Won't somebody stand by me, stand by me just one time?

Won't somebody ooh (stand by me)

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (stand by me just one time?)

I don't understand

What's slipping through these hands

You'd think by now I would know

When to let go

Here I am (here I am)

Won't somebody

Stand, stand
