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
