[Verse 1:]
Long after we're gone
The moon will shine
The same every night
Sand stands by the sea
Shinning on the golden sun

[Pre-Chorus:]
We're just human beings
We're tiny, we can try
But it's all we'll ever be
So come and hold my hand
Until we're old and ugly
And life reaches to its end
But 'till then

[Chorus:]
Stand by me and I will stand by you
Hold my body 'till I can breathe
Stand by me

[Verse 2:]
There's a long way to go
Impossible heights to climb on the way
We'll always be marching on
Holding this island and breaking the cold
[Pre-Chorus:]
We're just human beings
We're tiny, we can try
But it's all we'll ever be
So come and hold my hand
Until we're old and ugly
And life reaches to its end
But 'till then

[Chorus:]
Stand by me and I will stand by you
Hold my body 'till I can breathe
Stand by me

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus/Outro:]
Stand by me
Stand by you
Hold my body 'till I cannot breathe
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
