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
