Stand By Me

Finally a moment to ourselves
now tell me how long has it been
the last five years I just stopped counting
I guess you never did
Didn’t mind walking a few steps behind me
satisfied with me taken the lead
I’ve got some demons to conquer
and you’ve got the right to disagree
Stand by me take hold of my hand
tell me I’m always gonna be your man
Stand by me through thick and thin
and I’ll go on living and giving all that I can
How well I know it ain’t the first time
and I’ve been known to come in late
I had some people now trying to tell me how
to walk tall stand up straight
this time around is gonna be real
I don’t need no shaman telling me how to feel
I’ve got some demons to conquer
and you’ve got the right to say what you will
carrying that weight from some early days
yea we can’t afford to wait
or let the storm come and seal our fate
yea your only shown when your on your own
on the road alone
Stand by me take hold of my hand
tell me I’m always gonna be your man
Stand by me through thick and thin
and I’ll go on living and giving all that I can
Stand by me stand by me
honey you know I’m your man
