Beside You - Queensrÿche

Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me

All my life … behind me

You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn’t see,

but where I’ve always been … an island

In my dreams I’ve been an island …

Where I’m all alone, and I’ve built these walls stone by stone

I want to leave but I don’t know where to go

I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel

I’m different on the inside.

I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you

through

I’ll always be … beside you

The day you were born I held you … small and helpless crying, your life and

mine entwining

As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview, reaching out to you

from this island in the sea

I don’t want to be an island

I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel

I’m different on the inside

I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through

I’ll always be … beside you
