Stand By You

Tonight I wanted to share one of my most favorite Rachell Platten songs.

When I first heard this song, it was everything I needed in the moment. Not only did it lift me out of my dark place, we even “just so happened” to get tickets to go see her in concert. My daughter and I loved that experience. It was my firstborn’s first concert. And it doesn’t end there. While we were there, someone handed us floor seat tickets! So we love Rachel Platten in our household. I am so very grateful that she used her platform to be positive and uplifting.

Stand by You-Rachell Platten

Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
Hands put your empty hands in mine
And scars show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine ’til yours can open too
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you’re hurting but so am I
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too

‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we’re breaking down
We can find a way to break through
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love, you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

Even if we can’t find heaven
I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love, you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

Yeah, you’re all I never knew I needed
And the heart, sometimes it’s unclear why it’s beating
And love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions too
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

And oh, truth I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith, I think faith is having a reason
And I know, know love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too

‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we’re breaking down
We can find a way to break through
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love, you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

Even if we can’t find heaven
I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love, you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

I’ll be your eyes ’til yours can shine
And I’ll be your arms I’ll be your steady satellite
And when you can’t rise
Well, I’ll crawl with you on hands and knees ’cause I

I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we’re breaking down (Hey)
We can find a way to break through (Come on)
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love, you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you

Even if we can’t find heaven (Hey)
I’m gonna stand by you
Even if we can’t find heaven
I’ll walk through hell with you
Love you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m gonna stand by you
Love you’re not alone
Oh, I’m gonna stand by you

Even if we can’t find heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven
I’m gonna stand by you

I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
