Stand with Me
SoMo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanted more
I'll give you more
Walk through the sand with me
Hold out your hand
And stand with me
Do you see the plan I see
Love
If I showed you that baby
Love with all I had
Would you walk that line?
In "Stand with Me," SoMo sings about how he's willing to give his all in a relationship and asks his partner to stand by him. He says that he's been open and honest with his partner and wants to do more to prove his love. He invites his partner to join him on a journey, asking them to hold his hand and walk with him. SoMo uses the metaphor of walking through sand, which is challenging and unpredictable, to represent the challenges that come with relationships.
He then asks if his partner can see the same future with him and if they're willing to commit. SoMo is essentially saying that he's all in and willing to give everything he has, but he needs to know if his partner is on the same page. It's a vulnerable and honest moment in the song where SoMo is laying his feelings on the line.
The chorus where SoMo repeats the word "love" is a powerful moment where he's essentially saying that love is the thing that binds them together and is the reason why they're standing by each other. It's a plea to his partner to see the importance of their love and to not give up on it.
Overall, "Stand with Me" is a beautiful love song that speaks to the importance of open and honest communication and vulnerability in relationships. SoMo's vocals are soulful and emotive, conveying the depth of his emotions and making the song resonate with listeners on a deep level.

When night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me

Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
