Stand

I woke up one morning, and I felt so weak
Stumbled out of bed, I dropped straight to my knees
I tried to rise, but the pain was too grand
It hurt me so bad that I could not stand
I could not stand, I could not stand
Oh, how it hurt me that I could not stand
I crawled to the stairs and into the streets
Thinking a doctor could surely put me back on my feet
But she looked at me once and said «I'm sorry man
Nothing in the books of science will help you stand.»
Help you stand, will help you stand
Nothing in the books of science will help you stand
I went to the bank; I thought it’s money I need
A couple of bucks should get me back to speed
But the banker said «I did not meet the demands
Tell me how will you carry gold if you can’t even stand?»
You can’t even stand, you can’t even stand
How will you carry gold if you can’t even stand? (x2)
I guess my beliefs; I dragged myself to the church
They say that you’ll be found if you really search
But I had to reach the priest because I could not reach the lord
The priest heard my prayer, but I’m still bound to the floor
(I'm) Bound to the floor, I’m bound to the floor
The priest heard my prayer, but I’m still bound to the floor. (x2)
Now, at this point, it seemed like I had one last hope
And I don’t mean death, and I don’t mean dope
So I knocked on her door and said «I'm ready to go
You’re strong like an ox, but you’re blind as a mole.»
(So) Here’s my suggestion—put your hand in my hand—
I’ll be your eyes if you’ll help me stand. (x2)
Help me stand, will help me stand
I’ll be your eyes if you’ll help me stand. (x2)
