[Verse 1]
How can I keep myself far from you?
Is there a way to keep me from falling down?
How can I keep myself far from you?
Is there a way to keep me from falling down, falling down?

[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot lose another fight
I'm not down again
I keep asking with all my might
For help from the Lord above

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got another stand to take
Since I turned around and had this spell to break
Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away
With a handful of sand

[Verse 2]
Who said that you need the blues to sing your songs
When your heart cries, ain't no melody strong enough, strong enough

[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot lose another fight
I'm not down again
I keep asking with all my might
For help from the Lord above

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got another stand to take
Since I turned around and had this spell to break
Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away
With a handful of sand
A handful of sand
With a, with a handful of sand

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got another stand to take
Since I turned around and had this spell to break
Ooh, I couldn't wait any longer to walk away
With a handful of sand
A handful of sand
Sand
