Next to Me

I look up at the sky and I see with my eyes
 And I'm almost blown away
 Almost look down at the ground, and how, I was taught to pray
 Told myself I'm only strong if I can finally say
 I found the one that holds me up and sends me on my way
 Now I'm headed down this road and maybe I'll be lame
 But I'm only one man and I'm doing all I can
 Can you stand there with me?
 Can you hold my name?
 When you save my soul from going down in flames
 I just wanna look back in the past of mine
 Know that I made it with a passion rhyme
 With you standing by my side when I pass my prime
 When I hang that mic up, I'll be fine
 Did I do enough?
 Did I live the life that I set out for?
 Did I learn to fly?
 Did I change a life?
 Did I reach my height?
 Did I aim the right way when I was aiming high?
 Do I make you proud when you think of me?
 Do you believe In my words so faithfully?
 When I tell you that I'm really coming home to you
 When I tell you that I know that we're meant to be
 I don't wanna run
 I don't wanna hide
 I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
 I don't wanna run
 I don't wanna hide
 I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
 Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
 The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
 Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
 The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
 I remember when we met I was in a bad place of mind
 And you didn't walk away
 You just stood there, right there
 By my side and you told me I was great
 I'll never forget the first day that I saw your pretty face
 I knew right then I was on the road and I finally found my way
 Now I'm headed down this road and maybe I'll be lame
 But I'm only one man and I'm doing all I can
 Can you stand there with me?
 Can you hold my name?
 Will you save my soul from going down in flames
 I just wanna make life with the love of mine
 Never look back to the bad place that I've come from
 That I've been numb from
 Now that I'm something
 I just wanna make you mine
 I wanna talk with you
 I wanna walk with you
 I wanna build this empire
 Rock with you
 And take it off with you
 I wanna spend all of my time
 I don't wanna run
 I don't wanna hide
 I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
 I don't wanna run
 I don't wanna hide
 I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
 I don't wanna run
 I don't wanna hide
 I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
 Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
 The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
 Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
 The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
