Somebody Stand By Me - Lyrics by Faith Evans


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
