Stand by Me
Stand by Me: A Journey of Faith and Resilience
Lyrics
When I'm walkin' by the river
Expressing a moment of walking by the river
Stand by me
Requesting support and companionship, asking for someone to stand by in times of need
And Jesus Christ, He's my pillow
A metaphorical reference to finding comfort and solace in Jesus Christ
Stand by me
Reiterating the request for support and presence in challenging times
When this world can be so cold
Acknowledging the harshness of the world
I've got love for Jesus in my soul
Expressing a deep connection and love for Jesus in the soul
I need faith on this long rocky road
Expressing the need for faith on the difficult journey of life
Stand by me
Reiterating the plea for someone to stand by in times of need
Now when the devil, devil tries to shake me
Referring to facing challenges presented by negative influences, possibly symbolized by the devil
Stand by me
Repeating the request for support in the face of challenges
And when my only friend forsakes me
Expressing a sense of abandonment by the only friend
Stand by me
Reiterating the plea for someone to stand by despite feeling abandoned
I've been travelin', travelin' through the land
Describing a journey through life and its challenges
Tryin' to do the best that I can
Expressing the effort to do the best in difficult circumstances
When all my friends misunderstand
Highlighting the misunderstanding and lack of support from friends
Please stand by me
Repeating the request for someone to stand by despite misunderstandings
Now I'm travelin' through this world of trouble
Continuing the journey through life's challenges
Please stand by me
Reiterating the plea for someone to stand by in times of trouble
When I'm feelin' so alone, please stand by me
Expressing a sense of loneliness and the need for support
And when I'm comin', comin' down to die
Anticipating the end of life and seeking spiritual elevation with Jesus
Jesus you take me up high
Expressing trust in Jesus to guide in the afterlife
And I'll wave goodbye from the sky
Imagining waving goodbye from a heavenly perspective
Stand by me
Repeating the request for someone to stand by, even in the afterlife
