Somebody Stand By Me lyrics

It s quiet here tonight
There s a light burnin 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 by me just one time
Won t somebody 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
And I m throwing down my one last hope

Won t somebody stand by me just one time
Won t somebody 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
