You Were There

By Sidewalk Prophets

Lyrics

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
