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 go 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
