On The Same Side
Harmony in Chaos: Finding Unity Amidst Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
I don't mind if the bugs get in the house
I am unconcerned if insects enter the house
If it's in the service of my friends comin' in and out
As long as it serves the purpose of my friends coming in and out
Less the water splashed over the edge
Except for water spilled over the edge
Take what you need and please come back again
Take what you need and kindly return again
If you bear a heavy heart tell me how you feel
If you carry a burdensome heart, express your emotions to me
Start where you are you know i'm right here
Start from your current situation; I am here for you
If the streets they flood and you can't get through
If the streets are flooded and impassable
If everyone goes mad like they're tryin' to
If everyone is acting mad as if intentionally
If the day should come
In the event of a challenging day
You do the worst that you could do
Choose the best course of action, even if it is the worst
This world is like a river I'm on the same side as you
This world is likened to a river, and I am on the same side as you
I should bring the chairs out of the rain
I should bring chairs inside to protect them from the rain
Sure miss you already, however long you stay
I already miss you, regardless of how long you stay
Sorry for the time that we spent mad
Apologizing for the time spent in anger
What a pity to have wasted any precious time we had
Regretful for wasting any precious time we had
If you need a place to stay sleep here on the couch
If you need a place to stay, feel free to sleep on the couch
My door is always open if you're up or if you're down
My door is always open, whether you're up or down
If the streets they flood and we know they do
If the streets are flooded, acknowledging that it happens
If everyone goes mad like they're tryin' to
If everyone is behaving as if they are mad intentionally
If the day should come
In case a challenging day arrives
I do the worst that I could do
If I make the wrong choices when that day comes
Oh this world is like a river I'm on the same side as you
The world is like a river, and I stand on the same side as you
Any place they try to drag you name
Any attempt to tarnish your name, I won't follow
Know I'll never follow
My commitment and feelings will remain constant
My heart will never change
People have their grievances, but I stay true to myself
Everybody's got an axe to grind
Everyone has their issues, stay vigilant like you do
Stay sharp just like you
I follow my own convictions and thoughts
I follow my own mind
Anyone claiming certainty and drawing lines
Anybody says they know says they draw a line
Hold on to me, and things will be okay
Keep holding on to me and I think we'll be just fine
If the streets flood and become impassable
If the streets they flood and you can't get through
If the streets are flooded, causing difficulty in passage
If everyone goes mad and we know they do
If everyone is acting mad, as is often the case
If the day has come
If the day comes when you believe they are coming for you
You think they really come for you
Consider that the world is like a river, and I am on the same side as you
Oh this world is like a river I'm on the same side as you
This world is akin to a river, and I stand on the same side as you
