By Your Side - House Of Heroes

Born on the plains

A farmer’s sons and brothers the same

Raised on promises we’d stay that way

As boys we believed summers at the sea

We were free to become men of good will

Side by side

And we were children then

Footprints in the sand

And where the ocean bends

We made our promises

He knows

Duty soon called

1943 we enrolled

Together we would be our family’s pride

And we were soldiers then

Our bodies in the sand

And like that sand through our hands

Go our grandest plans

And just to see your face for one moment

I’d cross the ocean again

The end is not the end

And I’ll be by your side, on the other side

And I’ll be by your side, on the other side

And through the cloud of death

We find our way back home

And though I hold your hand

All must go alone

And when you see the face of our Maker

You don’t have to be ashamed

He knows the promises we made

And I’ll be by your side, on the other side

And I’ll be by your side, on the other side
