By My Side

So here I stand
 Under the stars and I'm dreaming again
 Oh, what a journey it's been
 Where I am now and where I was then
 I often think about this life we have
 The friends we made and the days that passed
 And I'm grateful, yeah
 Grateful that I have a story to tell
 So I give love
 Because there was a time when I had none
 And I give thanks
 Because now I know
 That's the only way to be living free, yeah
 Free from negativity
 And the hardships we face
 Got to keep that forward pace
 Oh, no matter where I go
 One thing I know is love is by my side
 Don't fight it again, don't fight it, yeah
 Oh, no matter where you go
 Look at what can happen when you go with the flow, said
 Love is by your side, don't fight it again, yeah
 ♪
 Oh, so don't you wait in vain
 For the things that you cannot change
 Some things stay the same
 And yes they are meant to be that way
 So don't you worry, don't you stress
 It ain't gonna help your happiness
 Just be grateful, whoa, yeah
 Grateful for this breath of life
 So I give love
 Because there was a time when I had none
 And I give thanks
 Because now I know that's the only way
 To be living free
 Free from negativity
 And the hardships we face
 Got to keep that forward pace, yeah
 Oh, no matter where I go
 One thing I know is love is by my side
 Don't fight it again, don't fight it, yeah
 Oh, no matter where you go
 Look at what can happen when you go with the flow, said
 Love is by your side, don't fight it again, yeah
