Verse 1:
You stand alone, my friend
Though the world may try to bring you down
You stand firm, until the end
With courage that will never wear a frown
Through trials and tribulations, you go
But your spirit, it will always glow
You stand alone, with your head held high
With a strength that makes the angels sigh
Chorus:
You stand alone, you’re not afraid
In the darkness, you’re a guiding light
You stand alone, come what may
With a heart that’s pure and a soul that’s bright
You stand alone, against the tide
With unwavering faith by your side
You stand alone, a beacon of hope
With a love that helps the world to cope
Verse 2:
You stand alone, in the face of fear
With a resolve that nothing can shake
You stand tall, when others sneer
Your spirit soars, like an eagle’s wake
Through adversity, you’ll always fight
With a determination that shines so bright
You stand alone, with unwavering grace
With a wisdom that’s written on your face
Chorus:
You stand alone, you’re not afraid
In the darkness, you’re a guiding light
You stand alone, come what may
With a heart that’s pure and a soul that’s bright
You stand alone, against the tide
With unwavering faith by your side
You stand alone, a beacon of hope
With a love that helps the world to cope
Bridge:
Though storms may come and storms may go
You stand steadfast, in the ebb and flow
Through trials and tests, you’ll never break
With a resilience that’s yours to make
Chorus:
You stand alone, you’re not afraid
In the darkness, you’re a guiding light
You stand alone, come what may
With a heart that’s pure and a soul that’s bright
You stand alone, against the tide
With unwavering faith by your side
You stand alone, a beacon of hope
With a love that helps the world to cope
Outro:
You stand alone, my friend
A symbol of strength until the end
With courage that inspires us all
You stand alone, standing tall.
