I'll Be Around

Hey boy, did you find out What you had to know and what it's all about When you started to move, just a step at a time You never wanted to fall You took a chance on the wild side Hey girl, can't you come down Are you way at the top, afraid of somethin' you found Then you try to go back, not as easy to do Did you find who you are From a dance on the wild side I know sometimes it's hard for you To keep your feet upon the path that you've chosen It's not for you to walk alone Together we can take this road where it's going (hang on) Stand by me, stand right here The time has come to say it clear Now don't give up, but don't give in We will stand together to the end And I'll be around I'll be around, yeah No joke, the sooner you find It happens all the same for every mother's child When you walk in the dark then you stumble and fall It's a part of it all When we dance on the wild side But everybody needs someone who loves 'em Through the toughest times while they're growing, yeah Who keeps a candle burning when the darkness Covers up the path where they're going (hang on) Stand by me (stand by), stand right here (stand right here) The time has come to say it clear Now don't give up (don't give up), but don't give in We will stand together to the end And I'll be around Come what may (come what may) Heaven hears us when we pray So don't give up (don't give up), but don't give in (don't give in) We will stand together to the end I will be there, my good friend And I'll be around Be around, I'll be around I'll walk this road with you Wherever it may wind And I'll be around Stand by me (stand by), stand right here (stand right here) The time has come to say it clear Now don't give up (don't give up), but don't give in (don't give in) We will stand together to the end And I'll be around Come what may (come what may) Heaven hears us when we pray So don't give up (don't give up), but don't give in (don't give in) We will stand together to the end I will be there, my good friend And I'll be around I'll be around, yeah And I'll be around
