As we walk the wire across desperate times,
Will tomorrow find us' Will you still be mine'
Will we hold our child' Will he have a place'
Is there a hope for the human race'

If it all comes true, and our dreams fall like bombs from the blue,
Oh, my love, come stand by me,
Sing.

With a life between us, my love is green,
I've got something to live for, a reason to dream,
But where can we turn' Where can we hide to find a future on the other side'

If it all comes true, and our dreams fall like bombs from the blue,
Oh, my love, come stand by me,
And if it all comes real, confirming this fear that I feel,
Oh, my love, come stand by me,
Stand by me.

Stand by me.

Little people like us, girl, never have control of their destinations when the plan unfolds,
Will we walk in the sun' Will we lie in the shade'
Is there a life for the love we've made'

If it all comes true, and our dreams fall like bombs from the blue,
Oh, my love, come stand by me,
And if it all proves real, infecting this fear that I feel,
Oh, my love, stand by me.
