You Beside Me

Take a stroll down the street my head held high Out in the cold, gain control, it's what's required While fake smiles conceal desire My brother stands, take his hand, I'm right beside him Hiding our tears was easy Waiting to ride out the storm Hold on Rising to take our chances Crying inside, I'm dreaming Climbing this wall, surviving Stronger with time, with you beside me Take the time, heal the child that's found within How I try, can't define what I'm denying Deep down my pride it tires I force a laugh, fall apart, inside I'm lying Counting the years uneasy Waiting and reading the signs Hold on Rising to take our chances Crying inside, I'm dreaming Climbing this wall, surviving Stronger with time, with you beside me It pulled me down, down 'til I decide A judgement passed, never ask, it's compromising Reach out, perceive this fire Intensify, rectified, my drive it's burning Rising to take our chances Crying inside, I'm dreaming Climbing this wall, surviving Stronger with time, with you beside me Rising to take our chances Crying inside, I'm dreaming Climbing this wall, surviving Stronger with time, with you beside me
