You're Gonna Need Somebody on Your Bond [#] Lyrics

You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond

Way after midnight,
When death come a-creepin' in your room
You're gonna need somebody on your bond

I heard the voice of Jesus callin', singin' of his rest
If you're lost in the wilderness
Come lay up on my breast

You're gonna need somebody on your bond

When Jesus come to save us, nobody heard his call
You can run, but you can't hide
Who's gonna have your soul?

You're gonna need somebody on your bond

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
