I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
I can hear your cries
I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
It will be all right

If just for now you could focus on the roses at your feet
And all the poses that we keep
Hold them frozen in a mental feature
So when you sleep the only messages that creep
From the part of you that speaks
Are the words, “I am a gentle creature.”
Maybe then with our fingers like pens
We can draw upon our skin holy images of matrimony
But how and when seem to come now and again
From your brow to your chin
Your confession is that we are lonely
If we could only escape through the memories
That take precious moments like these
From a youthful heart
I would hold you and thank you
For everything that makes you a blessing
And see you for who you truly are

I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
I can hear your cries
I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
It will be alright

When what was
Rings louder then what is
I doubt there ever will be
Space for a new star
In all of the cosmos we focus on what cost most
Memories of pain in a new scar
Well it’s to those stars and underneath you
The distance these loving arms would reach
And when you think I’m hard to find
In a world without options
Your suddenly stopped by a stranger and find later
That those arms are mine
In a better time and place
A feather of Divine grace fades
Into white parades of free birds
Defined within their chase
I find that I’ve been waiting my whole life
Just to say these words

I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
I can hear your cries
I’m on your side
Dark days cold nights
This is what we’re going through
Keep holding on
It will be all right
