You Were There - Sidewalk Prophets

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
