Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My hearts sings in the night
My love I bring to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
tonight
I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took ma a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams can come true
So I bring my heart to you
With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
tonight
We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today, for
You believed in me
The lyrics of Earth Wind & Fire's Side by Side talks about a person who has finally found love after experiencing love that was uncertain and temporary. The first few lines mention that a year ago, love was "touch and go" indicating that the person had a difficult time with love in the past, but with time, they were able to see that love and time can change one's mind and make things right. This suggests that the time spent reflecting on their past experiences allowed them to develop a different perspective and approach to love.
The chorus of the song "side by side" emphasizes the importance of unity and dedication in relationships. The lyrics suggest that those who wait for love and dedicate themselves to their partner will eventually be able to make it work. The lines "We finally found our sunny day and your love lights up the way" indicate that the person has finally found the one they love, and the love they share makes everything brighter.
In summary, the song Side by Side by Earth Wind & Fire encourages individuals to appreciate the power of time and dedication in relationships. It suggests that while love may not always work out at first, waiting for the right person and being dedicated can result in a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.

I was so lucky to have seen them way back in '79'. And to this day, hundreds or thousands of concerts later, is still one of my most my memorable musical experiences of my lifetime. Thank you EWF. You were and are a cut above and a class all to you're own.

Me too. The I Am tour '79 in Greensboro NC. The concert that changed the coliseum's seating method. The seating was first come first serve ....so we broke down the doors!
