I've been in this...alone so long...
And I'm begining to wonder why
I stand in one place a different name...a different face
No one's gonna see me cry

I need someone to stand by me...
Stand by me, just one time...
I hope somebody stands by me
Stands by me, just one time...
I don't understand, it's slipping through these hands
I think by now I know when to let go...
All I know is here I am baby
Won't you stand by me...

I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
But Im starting to know the sound of something
No one and yet everything

Well if God is here tonight...are you here tonight
Maybe you could grab me up...
Stand me on my feet give me strength...
Set me free...
I'm not giving in till I've had enough
