Tenth Avenue North - By Your Side from the album Over And Underneath


Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching?
As if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child,
Tell me where will you run?
To where will you run?

Chorus:

Cause I'll be by your side
wherever you fall
In the dead of night
whenever you call
Please don't fight
these hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you
Look at these hands, at my side
They swallowed the grave,
on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life

Chorus:

Here at my side
wherever you fall
In the dead of night
whenever you call
Please don't fight
these hands that are holding you

My hands are holding you
And I, I love you
And I want you to know
That I, I'll love you

Chorus
