when the storm
of life is raging
stand by me
when the storm
of life is raging
stand by me
oh lord
when this world
is tossing me, oh
oh, like a ship, oh yes
upon the sea
thou who knowest
the wind and water, come on
and stand by me
stand by me - oh lord
when I've done
all I can - oh
and my friends, oh yes
they don't understand
thou who knowest
you know all about it - come on, come on
and stand by me
stand by me (oh through the wind and the water)
stand by me (oh, oh, oh, hear it prayin' the lord)
stand by me (oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
stand by me (stand, by, me, oh lord)
stand by me (oh, oh, won't you hear me pray the lord when I sing)
stand by me (stand, by, me, oh lord)
