Stand Here With Me
Creed · Weathered
You always reached out to me and helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody
'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)
Just when fear blinded me you taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am and still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality
'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand her with me
On and on we sing ('Cause you stand here with me)
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand her with me
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody
'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)
Just when fear blinded me you taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am and still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality
'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand her with me
On and on we sing ('Cause you stand here with me)
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand her with me
Stand Here With Me

The song features the iconic vocal performance of Scott Stapp, characterized by its soaring high notes and raw intensity, which became a staple of the nu-metal and alternative metal genres of the mid-2000s. As a centerpiece of Weathered, the recording captures the group's transition from their earlier pop-punk roots to a more mature, guitar-driven sound. The track's enduring popularity stems from its ability to evoke deep emotional resonance, making it a frequent choice for live performances and a lasting contribution to the band's discography.
