Lyrics:
By Your Side
When your lost
I am found
When you slip
I hold my ground
When I fall
Please take a bow
And when you're up
Just remember I am down
Some people looking for
Fortune and fame
They don't know
That it's all the same
It's like any other game
You know there's a loser
But it's alright.
When you feel your heart is breaking
And all your friends are faking
When it's giving and no taking
I will be by your side
I've been over the hill and back
Survived every kind of attack
It's been a few years at that
As a matter of fact
Good luck is just good luck
You don't go hungry if you got pot luck
I've been down
But never on my knees
We've seen the forest we've seen the trees
