I Will Stand By You


Standing by someone you know
Is not an easy thing ... and so
If you feel high ... or you feel low
I will stand by you

If you should happen to be right
The world agrees with your insight
But if you're wrong ... to your delight
I will stand by you

Now you may ask what's up with me
I'll answer metaphorically
May everything within you see
I will stand by you

In your darkest hour of need
No need to hint ... or ask ... or plead
Because, my friend, I'm here ... indeed
I will stand by you

It's not a bother ... never was
It never will be ... just because
No matter what the whole world does
I will stand by you

No matter what you've done today
My faith in you will never stray
Come to me and I'll still say
I will stand by you

If only one thing is made clear
By all of this I'm saying here
Let it be this ... Have no fear
I will stand by you

When lifes temptations throw a block
In front of you ... Run, don't walk
For sturdiness I am a rock
I will stand by you

It isn't like friendships are planned
They're earned by trust ... and understand
That yours and mine go hand in hand
I will stand by you

When life is hard and things go wrong
And no one listens to your song
Just know I've been here all along
I will stand by you

Sometime when you think you're alone
No matter what ... I will condone
The things you do ... May you be shown
I will stand by you

Don't keep emotions deep inside
Don't try to cover up or hide
Because I'm always on your side
I will stand by you
