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
