Stand Beside Me

He has been living through the pages of our time Known as a true man, pure and sublime Comes from the earth and out of the skies From the four corners of the compass and into our lives He is followed, he who is true To what there is to be believed in, to the spirit of you Comes from the day and out of the night It's in all things natural, it's in all things right Oh sometimes, it's just not that easy Oh sometimes, I got to call you, call you Stand beside me, God, stand beside me Stand before me and behind me So I can follow in love And it all sails so smoothly with a prayer at each hand We all carry our stones, our good books On the Holy ground, we stand true to the day, true to the night It's got to be natural, it's got to be right Oh sometimes, it's still not that easy No, sometimes, I'm not the man I think I am Feel I am, hope I am, know I am Stand beside me, stand beside me Stand before me and behind me So I can be true, so I can be true to my word Stand beside me, stand beside me Stand before me, stand beside me
