Reposting this because it seems highly appropriate for the way shit’s going right now. A song I wrote a couple of years ago, inspired by this poem here.
[verse 1]
Stand with me as the towers fall
As all else tumbles we’ll still stand tall
Watch with me as the whole world crumbles
The life we knew now reduced to rubble
[verse 2]
Stand with me when there’s nothing left
Just you and me and the fire in our chests
Gaze on the remnants of the world now gone
Stand with me and wait for dawn
[chorus]
Will you stay by me as the world is burning
Standing strong and never running
Tell me that you’ll never leave
That you’ll always stand with me
[verse 3]
Stand with me against the masses
As they fight for power among the ashes
Stand with me, I’ll keep you safe baby
‘Cause the two of us, we’re our own brand of crazy
[chorus]
Will you stay by me as the world is burning
Standing strong and never running
Tell me that you’ll never leave
That you’ll always stand with me
[bridge]
Stand with me with no regret
Stand with me and never forget
Stand with me past our last breath
Stand with me in life and death
[chorus]
Will you stay by me as the world is burning
Standing strong and never running
Tell me that you’ll never leave
That you’ll always stand with me
You can view & listen to the music I wrote for this here. Maybe sing along if you really want to🤷♂️
