I Can't Stand Up Alone - Jesse Winchester

One of these days I’m gonna take a vacation

By a quiet and a peaceful shore

And I’ll cool my feet in those crystal waters

And I won’t have to work anymore

'Cause my burden has got so heavy

Till I can’t stand up alone

I must lay my head down on one strong shoulder

'Cause I can’t stand up alone

Ah, you can’t stand up all by yourself

You can’t stand up alone

You need the touch of a mighty hand

You can’t stand up alone

And trouble, I have seen trouble

All around my door

Go away and leave me old man trouble

'Cause I don’t want your trouble no more

Ah, you can’t stand up all by yourself

You can’t stand up alone

You need the touch of a mighty hand

You can’t stand up alone

And a voice came down just like thunder

And light all around me shown

The voice said: 'Jesse, get up'

'And grab hold of my hand 'cause you can’t stand up all alone'

Ah, you can’t stand up all by yourself

You can’t stand up alone

You need the touch of a mighty hand

You can’t stand up alone
