Beside You
Take your children down to the water wash their heads and
sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and
tall beside me.
All my life … behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where
I couldn′t see,but where I′ve always been … an island.
In my dreams I′ve been an island …
where I′m all alone, and I′ve built these walls stone by
stone.
I want to leave but I don′t know where to go.
I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I′m different on the inside. I′ve tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.
I′ll always be … beside you.
The day you were born I held you … small and helpless
crying, your life and mine entwining.
As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,
reaching out to you from this island in the sea.
I don′t want to be an island.
I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and
feel the way you feel.
I′m different on the inside.
I′ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.
I′ll always be … beside you.
