This song says, no matter who you are, No matter where you go in your life At some point you're going to need Somebody to stand by you. Oh yeah! Oh my darlin' stand by me! No matter who your are, no matter where you go in life You gon' need somebody, to stand by you. No matter how much money you got, or the friends you got, You gon' need somebody, to stand by you When the night has come, and the way is dark, And that moon is the only light you see. No I won't be afraid, no I-I-I won't be afraid Just as long as the people come and stand by me. Darlin' darlin' stand by me, ooh stand by me Oh stand Stand stand by me C'mon stand by me stand by me If the sky that we look upon Well should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't?
