Beside You

*** Take your children down to the water wash their heads and sing .. holy holy<br><br>Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me.<br>All my life ... behind me.<br><br>You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn’t see,but where I’ve always been ... an island.<br><br>In my dreams I’ve been an island ...<br><br>where I’m all alone, and I’ve built these walls stone by stone.<br>I want to leave but I don’t know where to go.<br><br>I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel.<br>I’m different on the inside. I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.<br><br>I’ll always be ... beside you.<br><br>The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless crying, your life and mine entwining.<br><br>As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview, reaching out to you from this island in the sea.<br>I don’t want to be an island.<br><br>I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel.<br>I’m different on the inside.<br><br>I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.<br><br>I’ll always be ... beside you.
