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
