Stand By Me Lyrics

I aim to be great

But not the greatest

The greatness in me

Forever endless

However great I am

I see your greatness

However great I am

We stand adjacent

I look across this land

And see your pain

Take you by the hand

Together say

We can overstand

And light the way

Futures shining bright

A brand new day

If you feel these words

Touch your heart and say

You will stand by me

And we'll make a way

You'll stand by me

No we'll never fade

You'll stand by me

Live another day

Ya I know it's hard

But that's ok

We will make it through

Day by day

We will rise as one

The people say

We will rise as one

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

One for the treble

Two for the base

My mom said I'm a rebel

Tryin find my place

Daddy held us down

Wore his stress in his face

I be walking round

Talking tough

But afraid

There were dark days

I cried and prayed

Wonder to myself

Why I'm in this race

Thoughts of suicide

Crossed my mind some days

But never took my life

And cause my mom more pain

There was that thing

Won't say his name

When I told my girls

They all said the same

Many never tell

Don't want the blame and shame

Hide with a smile

Don't let it get in your way

My sister knew

She kept me cool

Even though at times

She had hurt me too

Timed heals all wound

If you want it to

If you can't let go

It's only you who'll lose

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here it, baby

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name

Let'em here your name
