Do you spend your whole life
Trying for one goal
Just to stand by
And watch it all go?
Do you give all you've got
And then a little more
Just to stand by
And watch it hit the floor?
Do you wish for one thing
And pray it will come true
Just to stand by
As your plans fall through?
What if you've no choice
But to try and try your best
Just to stand by
And fail like the rest?
I've done all I can
I'm all I can be
But I'm still standing by
As everything walks past me
