Stay Lyrics

I walk to the edge again
searching for the truth
taken by the memories
of all that I've been through

if I could hear your voice
I know I would be okay
I know that I've been wrong
but I'm begging you to stay
won't you stay?

will you be here or will I be alone?
will I be scared or teach me how to be strong?
if I fall down, will you help me carry on?
I cannot do this alone

I wish that I could turn back time
just to have one more chance
to be the man I need to be
I pray you'll understand

if I could hear your voice
I know I would be okay
I know that I've been wrong
but I'm begging you to stay
won't you stay?

will you be here or will I be alone?
will I be scared or teach me how to be strong?
if I fall down, will you help me carry on?
I cannot do this alone

I need your hand to help me through these times again
nothing compares to the way I feel when I look at you
you never know, never know tomorrow
dont walk away

will you be here or will I be alone?
will I be scared or teach me how to be strong?
if I fall down, will you help me carry on?
I cannot do this alone

will you be here or will I be alone?
will I be scared or teach me how to be strong?
if I fall down, will you help me carry on?
I cannot do this alone

I am not alone
I know you're there
I am not alone
I know you're there
I am not alone
I know you're there
i am not alone

The best song on the new album in my opinion: Its about a person who hasn't totally got there faith in God down yet, and they are just wanting to make sure that he will still be there for them even though they have done some bad stuff in they're life. He is calling out for help. Great song!

I didn't looking for religious meaning in this song, I never do.

I felt the song is him calling out to a friend/girlfriend, someone who had been there and was no longer. Hes telling them he needs them to go on, its a cry for help.

But I do see where you could find 'God' in the lyrics.

A few of those lines are incorrect, for instance it should be :

I need your hand to help me through these times again

Well, seeing as 12 Stones are a CHRISTIAN band, there is going to be some religious meanings in this song.

"if I could hear your voice I know I would be okay I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay won't you stay?"

The narrator is asking God for a his voice, a direction in his life, something to life his spirits up. Begging 'him' to stay as in keep [the narrator's] faith stong

and the chorus is just explaining his need for faith, again for guidance and strength.

"I wish that I could turn back time just to have one more chance to be the man I need to be I pray you'll understand"

The narrator needs his faith to face the demons of his past and confront them in the present day, and he can only do this with 'him' to make things right again......

....just read/listen to the lyrics/song and you will see 12 Stones touch of faith here.

I mean come on, they are a christian band. If you don't know that by now, you are retarded.

it does seem like a very christian song, I listened to this song when i felt exactly like that, I cried, lol.... but c'mon phoenix, there's no need for the whole "Retarded" comment
