Side By Side

© Julie Ruffell

You feel cold
You feel alone
And the walls are closing in
You don't need to be afraid
Because I'll hold out my hand to you
And all you need to do is reach up
I'll pull you out of the hole
Should I fall into the same trap
I know you'll me through
It's just you and me together
Standing side by side

The world might try to attack us
But we'll face it day by day
No force of nature can oppose us
Nothing can tear us down
We don't believe in lies or fall for tricks
While we break down the walls society
Builds around us
It's just you and me together
Standing side by side

Hold my hand, my friend
And trust that I will guide you
Walk towards the light
The both of us standing in its glow
Know the love I have for you
Since I know you have the same for me
I'm always here to offer you my help
And I know you'll offer it to me
It's just you and me together
Standing side by side

Forget the darkness
Forger the chill
Don't let fear touch you
Because I'll keep it all at bay
I won't let fear engulf my heart
Or let myself be chilled in the night
Because I know you'll take care of me
It's just you and me together
Standing side by side

We'll stand tall
We'll stand strong
We'll stand proud
We'll stand united
We'll stand together
Side by side
