I need someone to understand, someone I can respect,
Someone to hold my hand, you know; I just need to connect,
It's a small thing that I need, but like a change in the wind,
When the sky starts to bleed, you know we all need a friend.
Stand by me, and I will stand by you,
Stand by me, and I will stand by you.
When the world knocks down our door or the sun is held for ransom,
When lies are cheap and easy to fall for, I won't walk away or run from the hard in between,
I'll be strong and I'll stay,
I won't call you a fool or make a desperate scene,
I won't walk away.
Stand by me, and I will stand by you,
Stand by me, and I will stand by you.
Waking at midnight, or sudden summer rain,
Staring at moonlight or morning's first light again,
We don't have to speak; the silence is okay,
If you'll just hold my hand and keep, the words will be conveyed.
Stand by me, and I will stand by you,
Stand by me, and I will stand by you.
Stand by me, and I will...I will stand by you,
Stand by me, and I will...I will stand by you,
Stand by me, and I will...I will stand by you, (stand by me, and I will stand by you)
Stand by me, and I will stand by you.
