Hey boy did you find out-
Hey boy - did you find out
Whatcha had to know - n what it s all about
When you started to move - just a step at a time
You never wanted to fall
You took a chance on the wild side
Hey girl - can tcha come down
Are ya way at the top - afraid of somethin you found
Then you try to go back - not as easy to do
Did you find who you are
From a dance on the wild side
I know sometimes it s hard for you
To keep your feet upon the path that you ve chosen
It s not for you to walk alone
Together we can take this road where it s going - hang on
[Chorus 1:]
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don t give up - but don t give in
We will stand together to the end
And I ll be around - I ll be around yeah
No joke - the sooner you find
It happens all the same - for every mother s child
when you walk in the dark - then you stumble and fall
It s a part of it all
When we dance on the wild side
But everybody needs someone
Who loves em through the toughest times - while they re growing - yah
Who keeps a candle burning
When the darkness covers up the path where they re going - hang on
[Chorus 2:]
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don t give up - don t give in
We will stand together to the end
And I ll be around - come what may
Heaven hears us when we pray
So don t give up - but don t give in
We will stand together to the end
I will be there my good friend
And I ll be around
Be around I ll be around...
I ll walk this road with you
wherever it may wind
And I ll be around
[Chorus 2]
