Stand By Me

I need You to stand by me, so don't leave me alone
I need Your light to guide me to keep bringing me home
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah

I've been all alone, everybody gone, uh
Used to have a home, uh, guess I'm on my own
Do you love me or you don't? Uh, 'cause I don't really know, uh
Runnin' out of hope, uh, findin' ways to cope
I've drowned all my problems in the bottom of a bottle
I've been wrestlin' my demons, they been winnin', I ain't lyin'
I've been tryin', I'vе been tryin', everybody put they burdеns on me
They been judgin' who I am, but it's things they don't see
I know I be steppin', I know that I'm really on edge
I know that there's things that I said, I know I'm a mess
Feel like I should've been dead, I know that it's all in my head
I-I-I'm really in need, I got other things that I'm workin' through
Please, be patient with me (Patient with me), You don't gotta leave
I know it ain't perfect, but You know that it's worth it
I know that we hurtin', but we gon' keep workin' through it all
If I stand by you will you stand by me?
We been on a journey, we gon' find our peace, woah, woah

I need You to stand by me, so don't leave me alone
I need Your light to guide me to keep bringing me home
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah

I know you gon' make it, yeah
Your life got you feelin' salty, but you gon' shake it, yeah
Had a lost joy but now I found it, now you can't take it, nah
My wools had to let 'em heels sweat, and that pressure gone
I pray you don't give up, 'cause I know it really feel to be strugglin'
Lost in my head, cryin' of my troubles
God, where You at? I'm hittin' You up
Gettin' beat down, but gettin' back up
Feelin' like (Whew) drinkin' my [?]
Actin' this well, I aim for Your love
I'm stickin' the worst of myself, I had to work on myself
Hm, I walked through some fire, but it ain't consume me
Hm, by the way, I feel refined, it feel like jewelry
Hm, shinin' through my teeth, I feel like Juvy
Yeah, hm, some nightmares on my street ain't come from no movie, yeah
You been lonely for a minute, I done felt the same, I admit it
Ain't tryna get vulnerable, yeah, I get it
You afraid to know how you feelin'
I can't have everybody all up in my business
Well I'm back on this mission, I stand as a witness
The enemy rather have you forget that you loved by the Son
I'm made in His image, that's why—

I need You to stand by me, so don't leave me alone
I need Your light to guide me to keep bringing me home
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah

Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah
Help me keep it together, woah, woah, woah
