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
