There's a boy that I know well
Every time he closes his eyes
He's seeing hell
And he just trying to make things go right
And he just wants some kind of new life

Stand by my side
Stand by my side, when you need it
And if you should fall
You can stand by my side

I know where you've been
I've been there before
There's nothing you can say or do
To keep from feeling blue
And he just trying to make things go right
And he just wants some kind of new life

Stand by my side
Stand by my side, when you need it
And if you should fall
You can stand by my side

When you need a friend
You can call me
I'll be there
Stand by my side
It's a lonely world
But we can share the ride
I'll be there
So you can stand by my side
