I'll Stand By You by Carrie Underwood


Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

Oh I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you

I'll Stand by You portrays loyalty to others as you can see in the chorus. It is expressed that no matter what happens between the two of them, she will never leave him. Even in the worst of times they will never part. The line "Even if you wrong, I'll stand by you" (Underwood), is a  distinct example of never parting. That is the main importance of being loyal to someone; staying by one's side through the hard, sad and happy times of life. Also, the title itself; I'll Stand by You demonstrates loyalty.


Movie: Legally Blonde


Legally Blonde is a movie about a sorority girl, Elle Woods who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard University. Throughout the movie Elle realizes that she has more to offer than she thinks. Even though she is known as the stereotypical  "dumb blonde" she doesn't let the stuck up preps get in the way of her receiving her law degree. Elle displays self loyalty when she goes off on her own, leaving the nasty remarks of the other Harvard students behind her. She doesn't let them get under her skin and change who she is. This is a great example of being loyal to yourself because Elle is staying true to herself even when no one else believes in her; she is staying faithful to what she believes.
