Stand By Me

When all the skies come falling down, 
i ask you 'stand by me'
when I'm in the clouds and won't look down
I pray just wait for me
When I'm far away with thoughts of woe
I ask you let me be
When I tell you just to up and go
I pray you will not leave
If the tides do change, one day they might
I ask will we be free
If the darkness lifts from day to night
I pray its you I'll see
If all the rain should rainbows make
I ask you let it be
but if all the skies come falling down
I pray you'll 'stand by me'
