I'Ll Stand By You

Why do you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
You can lean on my shoulder
Don’t be ashamed to cry
I will be there for you
I’ll see you through
Because I’ve been where you are
I’ve seen the dark side too
When pressure rings down on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you can say to me
Will make me lose faith in you
I won’t let anybody hurt you
Not as long as I’m here
I will always protect you
Like I’m your own little bear
So if you’re angry get angry
Don’t hold it inside
Come on now
You can not hide
I’ll do what you do
I’ll get angry too
And that’s why I can help you
I’m just like you
I will follow you into the darkest night
Make sure you still stand
I’ll walk right by your side
And hold on to your hand
As you look straight ahead
And see your future
You will see me there too
As my heart becomes yours
When you’re stuck between two paths
Don’t know which to choose
Let me come along, because even if your wrong
I’ll stand by you
