Oh, Father You've been my friend
Now that I'm in trouble
Stand by me to the end, oh, oh
I want You to stand by, stand by
Well, all of my money and my friends are gone
God, I'm in a mean world
And I'm so all alone, oh, oh
I need You Jesus, stand by, stand by
Well, they tell me that
Samson killed in ancient times
I know that You helped
Him kill 10,000 Philistines, oh
Whoa I need You, stand by, stand by
Here's another thing
They tell me that they put Daniel
Down in the lion's den
I know You went down there, Father
You feed Daniel once again
That's why I said
Do me like You did Daniel
And stand by, stand by
Well, sometimes I feel like
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
And it's all in vain
When I begin to feel weak along the way
You come and You give me strength again
The Hebrew children have been in fire
Ten times hotter that it ought to be
Just like You delivered them, Father
I know You can deliver me, oh Lord
I'm calling You Jesus, stand by, stand by
When I'm sick, Father, stand by
When they doctor walk away from my bedside
Stand by me father
When it seem like I don't have a friend
I wonder would You be my friend
Stand closer, stand by
Sam Cooke (1931-1964) è stato un leggendario cantante, compositore e produttore discografico statunitense, considerato uno dei pionieri del soul music. Nato a Clarksdale, Mississippi, Cooke iniziò la sua carriera musicale cantando gospel nella chiesa locale. Nel 1957, firmò con il label Saratoga Records, pubblicando successi come "You Send Me" che lo consacrò come una stella pop. Cooke ha poi fondato la propria etichetta discografica, The Soul Stirrers, continuando a incidere brani gospel di grande successo. Nel corso degli anni '60, Cooke si affermò come uno dei più grandi artisti soul con album come "Ain't That Good News" e "Live at the Harlem Square Club", caratterizzati da melodie avvolgenti e testi profondamente emozionali. Il suo stile vocale ricco e potente, la sua sensibilità musicale e le sue canzoni che affrontavano temi sociali come l'uguaglianza razziale lo hanno reso un'icona culturale di grande rilevanza. Cooke fu assassinato nel 1964 all'età di 33 anni, lasciando un vuoto incolmabile nella musica americana.
