Stand beside me, I'll take your hand
Stand still while you can
You know it's hard
when you know it's time
leaving all you know behind
There's what you need then all the rest
please forward to new address

Stand beside me, I'll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

You know the storm before the calm
when there's no room to swing your arms?
As we're looking through our prison bars
do I see mud when you see stars?

Stand beside me, I'll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

And every step we take
When's the one too far?
And are you listening to the trees
When I hear the cars?

Stand beside me, I'll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can

Stand beside me, I'll take your hand
Stand still while you can
And if you find me wanting, take my hand
Stand still while you can
