Stand By You
TOM ZANETTI & K.O KANE Lyrics

Sometimes bad things happen
Adversities and misfortunes are common occurrences in life.

I never know what to say
It's challenging to find the right words to console and comfort someone who is experiencing a difficult time or loss.

Doesn't matter if it's close by or
Distance does not impact the importance of an empathetic response to someone's suffering.

A million miles away
Even if we can't relate to the details of the pain, we can still offer support and kindness.

Tell me, can you tell me
Asking others open-ended questions can encourage them to share their feelings and seek help.

Tell me why the skies are gray
Expressing concern for another's well-being can be demonstrated through simple gestures or inquiries about their mood.

Tell me why I feel this way
Sometimes, it's helpful to have someone else to discuss and process emotional struggles or reactions.

I never even knew their names
A sense of collective goodwill and sympathy can extend beyond individual relationships or identities.

Go to sleep tonight
Even though tomorrow is uncertain, we can offer the reassurance that another person is not alone.

We will keep our eyes open for you
We will be vigilant and supportive, watching out for any signs of distress or discomfort.

With our hearts, we will mend your broken pieces
Empathy is a powerful tool for repairing emotional wounds or building resilience in the aftermath of trauma.

Hand in hand, we will stand
Solidarity and mutual support can nourish and uplift both individuals and communities affected by tragedy.

It doesn't matter if you're black or white
Issues of race, ethnicity, or other differences should not impact the value of lives or the responsibility to support others in need.

It doesn't matter if you're wrong or right
Empathy is not about judgment or blame; it's about sharing in the human experience and affirming our common dignity.

It doesn't matter if we're out of time
We can never be complacent or indifferent to others' suffering, regardless of how busy or preoccupied we feel.

Doesn't matter if they draw the line
We can resist division or hatred by choosing to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalized, ignored, or persecuted.

With our hearts, we will mend your broken pieces
Empathy is not just a matter of words, but also of deeds and actions that can help heal and restore hope.

Hand in hand, we will stand
No one is alone in their pain or loss, as long as we extend our hands and hearts in compassion and care.

Stand by you, whoa
We pledge to be here for you, to support and uplift you, and to stand by you with steadfastness and resilience.

We'll stand by you
We are committed to being present and available for you, physically, emotionally, and morally, whenever you need us.
