[Verse 1]
I have felt no remorse
And left friends crying
I'm naive to believe
That I was ever trying
The water's think and black
No use in dying
Jesus Christ lift me up
Please keep me flying

'Cause I don't know why I
Or why you

[Chorus]
Stand by me
When all I've ever done for you is lied
You stand by me
And I don't know why you stand

[Verse 2]
I've led ships off course
To win false battles
And I've found no rewards
In being deceitful
And I would let my friends fall
Before I catch them
Jesus restore him me
A heart without sin

[Chorus 2x]

You stand by me
You stand by me

[Chorus 2x]

You stand by me
You stand by me

This is the last time
That I will ever get to stand by you
This is the last time
That i will get to make my decision
Will I stand by you?
'Cause you stand by me
And will I stand by you?
'Cause this is the last time that I will
Make my chance come
This is the last time
That I can stand by you
And will I stand by you?
'Cause this is the last time I
Will I stand by you?
'Cause this is the last time
That I can stand by you
By you
Will I stand...
Will I stand by you?
Like you have stood by me

(You stand)
(You stand by me)
