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

Every step we take (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

Stand still, stand still

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get
Along so awfully?
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get
Along so awfully?

So we’re different colors
And we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me
Though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never ever met you so what could I have done?

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man.
Help me understand.

Now you’re punching
And you’re kicking
And you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common decency
So far it hasn’t surfaced
But I’m sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

In my head, your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
Should ever we meet on your side of your stereo
I will pretend I know not of your thoughts
And even the way that they mirror my own
I’ll take you away in the way that you take me and go where I go

In my head, your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bittersweet
Love on repeat
I’m echoing all your philosophies and as I
I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bittersweet
Love on repeat
I’m echoing all your philosophies and as I…

Oh…

I don’t
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I’m out-numbered in my head
I don’t, I don’t wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I’m out-numbered in my head
My head, my head…

In my head, your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another night

Yeah, your voice
You’ve got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night
Lonely night…

Under the weight of your wings
I make believe you are all that I’ll ever need
All that I need…
