Beside
Vangelis Jon Anderson Lyrics

I have seen the compass turning
I have experienced the feeling of uncertainty and confusion in my heart.

Round & round my heart
My heart is constantly seeking direction and purpose.

The senses are yearning
My senses are craving change and a new perspective.

For a possible change of heart
I am hoping for a transformative experience that will change my beliefs and emotions.

That is coming to you
I believe this transformative experience is on its way to me.

Coming to you
This change of heart will be a personal and intimate experience.

You stand upright, you are different
You are unique and special, standing tall and proud.

Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil
You have experienced pain and trauma, causing a physical and emotional reaction.

Spill it out on the floor of belief
Let go of this pain and trauma and release it from your beliefs.

Come and mend this design
Please repair and improve the patterns and habits in your life.

With every right we do
Every good action we take will contribute to positive change in our lives.

I have seen the sun, this sounds crazy
I have had a surreal and unlikely experience.

The story about a boy in the rain
A tale of a young person facing hardship.

He was standing waiting for the light
He was looking for guidance and hope in a dark time.

As though he did have a reason to know
He felt like there was a deeper meaning to his struggle.

Did he really know?
Was his intuition correct, or was it just wishful thinking?

His eyes were open they expected someone
He was hopeful that someone or something would come to his aid.

In his heart he felt the compass was turned on
He believed that his heart was guiding him towards his true purpose.

I will echo, ho for reasons that change me
I will speak out and repeat my beliefs, even if they change over time.

Every thought, though it takes so long, Is master with every plan
Every idea and plan, no matter how long it takes to form, will ultimately have control over our lives.

It would seem there is no end
It seems like there is no limit to the acts of good and evil humans can commit.

To the bad or goodness in man
People have the capacity for both kindness and cruelty.

So my friend it seems the weariest night
The darkest and most exhausting times will eventually lead to brighter days.

Just leads to a heavenly dawn
With patience and perseverance, we can find peace and happiness in life.

Should we see so much
Do we need to be so aware and observant of everything around us?

In every time we sigh
Even in moments of sadness or disappointment, we can find beauty and meaning in life.

Even this we could call music
Even the most mundane or ordinary experiences can be seen as beautiful or significant.

As that would match my body connection
This experience resonates with me on a deep and personal level.

Let me take your hand, I will be beside you beside
I am here to support you and guide you through difficult times.

He took so much a lot of my mind
He had a profound impact on my thoughts and emotions.

I can't help believe all though is sublime
Despite any challenges or struggles, there is beauty and goodness in the world.

It this fate
Is this destiny, or just a coincidence?

I see it again & again
This experience keeps happening to me, or I keep noticing it.

Yes, I am taught to love above every reason
I believe in the power of love and its ability to transcend logic and reason.

Everyone every season
Love is for everyone, no matter what time of year or what stage of life they are in.

The compass will turn
Our heart and intuition will guide us towards the right path, even in times of uncertainty.

And turn again
This transformative and guiding experience will happen multiple times throughout our lives.

Turn again
We will continue to search for meaning and purpose in our lives, always guided by our emotions and intuition.
