Stand and Deliver

[Verse 1]
It's the longest night of the darkest year
The one you learned that life can go and disappear
And a holy light, you said God ain't here
Cause how could he explain the kind of pain you feel?

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I just wanna hold you
I don't really know if I can fix this, dear
Hate to see you hurting
No, you're not a burden
I volunteer

[Chorus]
Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you

[Verse 2]
What comes to pass, don't come to stay
We hid these wounds we had, day by day
As long as we are living the dash that is our life
We'll hold onto each other in the darkness and the light

[Chorus]
Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
If you lose all the meaning of life, love, and truth
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you

I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver

[Bridge]
Even though you've been low
Well, darling
You got someone, keep your head up high

[Chorus]
Won't drown in the river, I'll swim out to you
I'll stand and deliver, I'll carry you through
If you lose all the meaning of life, love and truth
I'll stand and deliver, I'll show up for you

I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver
I'll stand, stand and deliver
