Beside
Anderson (Jon) and Vangelis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round & round my heart
The senses are yearning
For a possible change of heart
That is coming to you
Coming to you
You stand upright, you are different
Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil
Come and mend this design
Come and mend this design
With every right we do
I have seen the sun, this sounds crazy
The story about a boy in the rain
He was standing waiting for for the light
As though he did have a reason to know
Did he really know?
His eyes were open they expected someone
In his heart he felt the compass was turned on
I will echo, ho for reasons that change me
Every thought, though it takes so long,
Is master with every plan
It would seem there is no end
To the bad or goodness in man
So my friend it seems the weariest night
Just leads to a heavenly dawn
Should we see so much
In every time we sigh
Even this we could call music
As that would match my body connection
Let me take your hand, I will be beside you beside
He took so much a lot of my mind
I can't help believe all though is sublime
It this fate
I see it again & again
Yes, I am taught to love above every reason
Everyone every season
The compass will turn
And turn again
turn again
And turn again

I keep noticing this pattern
Yes, I am taught to love above every reason
I choose to love unconditionally
Everyone every season
All people, all the time
The compass will turn
Life will keep changing, and we must keep adjusting
And turn again
The cycle of change repeats
turn again
The cycle of change repeats
