Lyrics Jimmy Cliff – You Left Me Standing By The Door

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

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
