Sidewalk Prophets You Were There
[Verse 1]
In the third grade musical, I played
The outlaw brother of Jessie James
You were cheering
In the sixth grade, I got bullied some
Said that I was fine, but when the tears would come
You were holding
On to me
In the marching band, I stepped in time
To the beat of a rhythm that I felt inside
You were moving
Mowin' my backyard with a Walkman on
I would listen to my favorite songs
You were singin'
Along with me
[Chorus]
All this time
You were there
By my side
You were everywhere
On and on, the years go by
Through the darkest days to the brightest nights
In every moment, You were there
[Verse 2]
October evening in my dorm
Watched the sunset fade and felt reborn
You were speaking
Without a word
Then we wrote some songs, and we hit the road
In a bright blue van, no matter where we'd go
You were driving
You were driving me, yeah
[Chorus]
All this time
You were there
By my side
You were everywhere
On and on, the years go by
Through the darkest days to the brightest nights
In every moment, You were there
[Bridge]
In my future, in my past
Up ahead, done looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
[Verse 3]
My wife and dad drove in our car
Where the island ends and the universe starts
Captivated
By Your majesty
In that still small moment, we could see
The edge of this whole galaxy
No reason to look back
When You're surrounding me, yeah
[Chorus]
All this time
You're still here
By my side
You are everywhere
You were right there
In my future, in my past
Up ahead, done looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
