Long after we're gone
The Moon will light
The same every night
Sand stands by the sea
Shining on the golden Sun

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

Stand by me
And I will stand by you
Hold my body 'till I can breathe
Stand by me

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

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

Stand by me
And I will stand by you
Hold my body 'till I can breathe
Stand by me

Stand by me
Stand by you
Hold my body 'till I cannot breathe
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
