Emotions ride high, and the words were strong Heard the screen door slam, and you were gone You can't win a fight, that you don't understand And I wake up alone, reachin' for your hand It's like a cold wind in December When we don't see eye to eye But I want you to remember I'm still on your side When you need me girl Still on your side And as sure as the river, runs to the sea There'll have to be times, we both disagree Sometimes I feel like shoutin' There's a freight train in my heart But you see there'll be no doubtin' I'm still on your side When you need me girl Still on your side Na na na na na na na I'm still on your side Na na na na na na na I'm still on your side And I look up to see, you standin' there But you just look right thru me Well somebody tell me I'm dreamin' Pretend you don't care As you turn round and walk out that door It's like a cold wind in December When we don't see eye to eye Well I want you to remember I'm still on your side When you need me girl Still on your side When you need me girl (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side) Just as sure as the river runs to the sea (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side) You can always depend on me (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side) I'm still on your side (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side) I'm still on your side baby (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side) (Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, still on your side)

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd They want you to speak but the music is louder than All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core But the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Promises made with a distant friend Truth should be known it can only bend To a tune of its own Hey you'll never hear that voice again Scandal in white on a tangled vine With everybody to say that you're having the Time of your life when your life is on the slide But the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night The shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Spinning a compass to choose your way You can run, you can dive, you can stand, and you can soar Whichever way you can be sure That the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Shadows on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side

Remember when we met The way you made me laugh How could I forget I found my better half But lately I've been feeling strong And you've been falling behind Oh tell me what went wrong 'Cus I can't read your mind I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side Remember how we kissed The first time in the dark Your lips were on my lips Your heart was on my heart But last night when you went to sleep You turned your face to the wall If you put your faith in me I'll catch you when you fall I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side Lately I've been feeling strong And you've been falling behind Oh tell me what went wrong 'Cus I can't read your mind I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side I'll hold on to you No matter what it is You're going through babe I love you babe I love you babe I love you babe I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side

If the stars fall down on me And the sun refused to shine Then may the shackles be undone May all the old words cease to rhyme If the sky turned into stone It will matter not at all For there is no Heaven in the sky Hell does not wait for our downfall Let the voice of reason chime Let the pious vanish for all time God's face is hidden, all unseen You can't ask Him what it all means He was never on your side God was never on your side Let right or wrong alone decide God was never on your side See ten thousand ministries See the holy, righteous dogs They claim to heal, but all they do is steal Abuse your faith, cheat, and rob If God is wise, why is He still When these false prophets call Him friend? Why is He silent? Is He blind? Are we abandoned in the end? Let the sword of reason shine Let us be free of prayer and shrine God's face is hidden, turned away He never has a word to say He was never on your side God was never on your side Let right or wrong alone decide God was never on your side No, no, no He was never on your side God was never on your side Never, never, never, never Never on your side Never on your side God was never on your side Never on your side

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away But every now and then you come to mind 'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game But when your name was called, you found a place to hide When you knew that I was always on your side Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent But my demons and my angels reappeared Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought I'd be Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared Leavin' you with all these questions all these years But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally This isn't how it's really meant to be No it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air (Love is in the air), never is it clear How to pull it close and make it stay But butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away And I'm left to carry on and wonder why Even through it all, I'm always on your side Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally When this isn't how it's really meant to be No it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air (never is it clear) How to pull it close and make it stay If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why Was it you that kept me wondering through this life When you know that I was always on your side
