"I Can't Stand Up Alone"
(Martha Carson)

One of these days I'm gonna take a vacation
To a quiet and a peaceful shore
And I'll cool my feet in those crystal waters
Where I won't have to work anymore

'Cause my burden has got a little heavy
Till I can't stand up all alone
I must lay my head down on one strong shoulder
'Cause I can't stand up all alone

No, 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
I don't want your trouble any more

No, 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

Then a voice came down just like thunder
And a light all around me shone
It said, Get up child, take hold of my hand
You can't stand up all alone

Well 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

Well my burden has gotten so heavy
Till I can't stand up all alone
Gonna go and find me one strong shoulder
I can't stand up alone

Well, 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

You know 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

You can't stand up alone
You can't stand up alone
You can't stand up alone
