Stand By
You've got to learn, you've got to learn how to follow the leader
You've got to turn, turn off your pride and you're life will be sweeter
Love comes from God, surely, surely, surely you can see that
If you check out your heart, there's a part that you're keeping from me
Why don't you hold on tight, make this flight, we've got the whole night
Saddle up your gear, have no fear, we are here, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
Come on and stand by, cause there is no time, no time to sit
I'll bet you'll be quick about it, and I know you will,
Once you learn that you can't live without it
Lord only knows how long, how long, how long I have waited
And the moment is near, line em up, get em ready at the gate
We're gonna keep em' strong, moving on, we've got the whole night
No looking back, where its at, its right now, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
There's gonna be no looking back, so baby, take everything you'll ever need
Sure 'nough moving on, keep it strong, its a whole new game and a brand new street
You know, uh, you said you would if you could, I'll make it good to ya
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Hey, hey, if its real, what you feel, come on and stand by
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Come on and stand by, ha, stand by me, hey, hey, hey
(Repeat stand by me, hey, hey, hey)
You've got to turn, turn off your pride and you're life will be sweeter
Love comes from God, surely, surely, surely you can see that
If you check out your heart, there's a part that you're keeping from me
Why don't you hold on tight, make this flight, we've got the whole night
Saddle up your gear, have no fear, we are here, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
Come on and stand by, cause there is no time, no time to sit
I'll bet you'll be quick about it, and I know you will,
Once you learn that you can't live without it
Lord only knows how long, how long, how long I have waited
And the moment is near, line em up, get em ready at the gate
We're gonna keep em' strong, moving on, we've got the whole night
No looking back, where its at, its right now, hey
Better make it soon, give me room, come on and stand by me
There's gonna be no looking back, so baby, take everything you'll ever need
Sure 'nough moving on, keep it strong, its a whole new game and a brand new street
You know, uh, you said you would if you could, I'll make it good to ya
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Hey, hey, if its real, what you feel, come on and stand by
Don't you stop 'til we get to the top, hey, ninety-nine and a half just won't do, stand by me
Come on and stand by, ha, stand by me, hey, hey, hey
(Repeat stand by me, hey, hey, hey)
