Stand Alone is a 1985 American action drama film directed by Alan Beattie and starring Charles Durning.
Africa Stand Alone is a 1978 album by Jamaican roots reggae band Culture (see 1978 in music). It was recorded with engineer Sylvan Morris at Harry J's Studios, Kingston, Jamaica, in the interim between the band's sessions with producers Joe Gibbs and Sonia Pottinger, and produced by Jamie Hatcher and Seymour Cummings.
The album was never fully completed, and the extant version was released without the band's permission or involvement by U.S. label April Records in 1978, making it effectively a bootleg. As such, most of its tracks were re-recorded with Sonia Pottinger for release on the Harder Than the Rest album shortly afterwards. It remains the only Culture release to feature the track "Dog Ago Nyam Dog" in its original form, though a dub version appeared as "Dog Eat Dub" on the Culture in Dub album later the same year.
Neither the backing group (christened the Sons of Jah by Culture's lead singer Joseph Hill) nor the producers of Africa Stand Alone had appeared on record before. Perhaps for this reason, the versions here of the tracks that also appear on Harder Than the Rest are renowned for being rawer and less disciplined. The musical backing tracks are also known for being more minimal, thus allowing the vocals to take a more central rôle. The import of copies of Africa Stand Alone from the U.S. at roughly the same time as Harder Than the Rest was released had the ultimate effect of stimulating interest in the latter, and for a while each record boosted the other's sales.

(Verse 1:)
I’m praying for you…! Cause you don’t love him...
So the way you gonna go, you don’t really know,
What are you standing on?, I put you to the cross,
Left without a loss, he saved us from ourselves,
My flesh…! Your flesh…! Will separate us,
So cry out, and pay now, and he will drop you down,
Repent now, confound sent, and you’ll be purified…!
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone (Alone)!
(Verse 2:)
(Yeah, uh-huh) I speak to you from this burning of my heart (of my heart)
If he is a Mack truck, put these words in park, (yeah) I am aging wisdom,
Please don’t become a faracy (don’t become a faracy) I’m an older boy from
Front to back but never takes me!... I’m praying for you…! Cause you don’t
Love him…So you go to church, and you do good things, they could be lies to
Marking, do you rep his name, what one six you claim, but does your actions
Prove it? Today self cries, you can not have to cage no, I make you, repent
Now (repent), for god’s kings numbers are hanged now, his blood (his blood)
Came clean (came clean) no matter what you've done! (no matter what you've
Done)
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone (Alone)!
(Verse 3:)
I try to lead you by example but it’s hard, sorry for my absence, so I send
My regards, I am the son of Adam so you know I fall, my daddy picks me up
That's why I stand so tall, just because you said a pair there's gotta be
Change, be it a first John for the Sherman's from the king, I am not here
Just to debate live what you say, become a lion not a lamb don’t become
It’s prey!
(Chorus:)
You don’t... Love him... and you don’t even realize, the way you, you hate
Him, oh you would leave the world now, he gave his... life for you, and
That's true love he showed you,
At some point... he’ll walk out, and you will Stand Alone! Stand Alone!
Stand Alone! Stand Alone! and you will Stand Alone! Stand Alone! Stand
Alone! Stand Alone! And you will Stand Alone!...
