You Were There
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the 3rd grade musical I played
The outlaw brother of Jesse James
You were cheering
In the 6th grade I got bullied some
Said that I was fine but when the tears would come
You were holding
Onto me
In the marching band, I stepped in time
To the beat of a rhythm that I felt inside
You were moving
Mowing my backyard with the walkman on
I would listen to my favorite songs
You were singing
Along with me
All this time You were there
By my side, You were everywhere
On and on the years go by
Through the darkest days to the brightest nights
In every moment, You were there
October evening in my dorm
Watched the sunset fade and felt reborn
You were speaking
Without a word
Then we wrote some songs, and we hit the road
In a bright blue van, no matter where we'd go
You were driving
You were driving me, yeah
All this time You were there
By my side, You were everywhere
On and on the years go by
Through the darkest days to the brightest nights
In every moment, You were there
In my future, in my past
Up ahead or looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
My wife and I drove in our car
Where the island ends and the universe starts
Captivated
By Your majesty
In that still, small moment we could see
The edge of this whole galaxy
No reason to look back
When You're surrounding me, yeah
All this time You're still here
By my side, You are everywhere
You were right there
In my future, in my past
Up ahead or looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
