On Your Side

On your side

I've seen you struggle
To get through the day
You freeze your face and wait
But trouble's here to stay
There's never any ease
In a world that's never pleased
Living in a tightening noose

You're not the only one
with a heart about to burst
Prayers, cutting through the night
Like laser lights
Will they ever reach
Anyone who cares
Or will they disappear

Leave a crack on the surface
Give relief to the heart
Take that weight off your shoulders
Raise it up to the stars
Come and sit at the table
We can talk all night
Don't hold back and make it pretty
I'm on your side
On your side

Don't let it get you down
We'll work it out somehow
Solutions have a way
of falling from the clouds

Everybody needs
Someone they can lean on
Someone who will understand

Leave a crack on the surface
Give relief to the heart
Take that weight off your shoulders
Raise it up to the stars
Come and sit at the table
We can talk all night
Don't hold back and make it pretty
I'm on your side
On your side
All the way
