You Left Me Standing by the Door - Jimmy Cliff

You left me standing by the door

You left me standing by the door

I know troubles won’t last too long

But give me the strength and courage

To carry on

You left me standing by the door

That was yesterday

You left me standing by the door

Farewell, you bid me in the prison

But a light shone through

Showing me a new horizon

Pain is just a stimulant to make you grow

So I made it through and I think you should know

You left me standing by the door

That was yesterday

You left me standing by the door

I know troubles won’t last too long

God give me the strength and courage

To carry on

You left me standing by the door

You left me standing by the door

I was unaware of the chains that had me bound

While you were excited 'bout the new life that was found

I prayed for guidance from above

'Cause I’ve been forgotten and no one to show me love

You left me standing by the door

You left me standing by the door
