Michael W Smith - I'll Be Around lyrics

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't 'ya 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 sometime's it's hard for you

To keep your feet upon the path that you've chosen

It's not for you to talk alone

Together we can take this road where it's going - hang on

Chorus I:

Stand by me - stand right here

The time has come to say it clear

Don't give up -don't give in

We will stand together to the end

And, I'll be right - 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

Who keeps a candle burning

When the darkness covers up the path -

Where they're going - hang on

Chorus II:

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 - 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

Repeat Chorus II
