A Song For A Sunday.

Stand By You

Vocals: American singer-songwriter and author Rachel Platten (From her album, ‘Wildfire’, 2016).
Lyrics: Joy Williams; Jack Antonoff; Matthew Morris; Jon Levine, and Rachel Platten.

Stand By You

(Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven)
Hands put your empty hands in mine,
And scars show me all the scars you hide,
And hey, if your wings are broken,
Please take mine ’til yours can open too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes,
And hurt, I know you’re hurting but so am I,
And love, if your wings are broken,
Borrow mine so yours can open too.
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down,
We can find a way to break through,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Yeah, you’re all I never knew I needed,
And the heart, sometimes it’s unclear why it’s beating,
And love, if your wings are broken,
We can brave through those emotions too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
And oh, truth I guess truth is what you believe in,
And faith, I think faith is having a reason,
And I know, know love, if your wings are broken,
Borrow mine so yours can open too,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down,
We can find a way to break through,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you.
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
I’ll be your eyes ’til yours can shine,
And I’ll be your arms, I’ll be your steady satellite,
And when you can’t rise,
Well, I’ll crawl with you on hands and knees ’cause I,
I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we’re breaking down (Hey),
We can find a way to break through (Come on),
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love, you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you.
Even if we can’t find heaven (Hey),
I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven,
I’ll walk through hell with you,
Love you’re not alone,
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you,
Love you’re not alone.
Oh, I’m gonna stand by you,
Even if we can’t find heaven, (heaven, heaven, heaven),
I’m gonna stand by you.

Strangest Dream.

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Vocals: American singer and songwriter, the late John Denver (1943 – 1997).
Lyrics: American folk singer-songwriter, the late Edward Potts McCurdy (1919 – 2000).

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream.

Last night I had the strangest dream,
I never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
,
To put an end to war.
I dreamed I saw a mighty room,
And the room was filled with men,
And the paper they were signing said,
They’d never fight again,
And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed,
And the people in the streets below,
Were dancing round and round,
And guns and swords and uniforms,
Were scattered on the ground.

(Sing it with me)
Last night, I had the strangest dream,
I’d never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

(Sing it again)
Last night I had the strangest dream,
I’d ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.

I dreamed the world had all agreed,
To put an end to war.
