Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the 3rd grade musical I played
The outlaw brother of Jesse James
You were cheering
In the 6th grade I got bullied some
Said that I was fine but when the tears would come
You were holding
Onto me
[Verse 2]
In the marching band, I stepped in time
To the beat of a rhythm that I felt inside
You were moving
Mowing my backyard with the walkman on
I would listen to my favorite songs
You were singing
Along with me
[Verse 3]
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 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 6]
In my future, in my past
Up ahead or looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
[Verse 7]
My wife and I 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
[Verse 8]
All this time You're still here
By my side, You are everywhere
[Verse 9]
You were right there
[Verse 10]
In my future, in my past
Up ahead or looking back
God, I know that You'll be here
'Cause You were there
