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
