Lyrics for the song Stand by me (Playing for change)

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 darling, stand by me
No matter who you are
No matter where you go in life
You gonna need somebody to stand by you
No matter how much money you have
Oh please
You gonna need somebody to stand by you

When the night has come
and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me

So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me
Darling, darling, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh, stand by me
