Next To Me

(album: The Foundation - 2016)

I look up at the sky and I see with my eyes
And I'm almost blown away
Almost look down at the ground, and how, I would start to pray
Told myself I'm only strong if I can finally say
I found the one that holds me up and sends me on my way
Now I'm headed down this road and maybe I'll be lame
But I'm only one man and I'm doing all I can
Can you stand there with me?
Can you hold my name?
When you save my soul from going down in flames

I just wanna look back in the past of mine
Know that I made it with a passion rhyme
With you standing by my side when I pass my prime
When I hang that mic up, I'll be fine
Did I do enough?
Did I live the life that I set out for?
Did I learn to fly?
Did I change a life?
Did I reach my height?
Did I aim the right way when I was aiming high?
Do I make you proud when you think of me?
Do you believe In my words so faithfully?
When I tell you that I'm really coming home to you
When I tell you that I know that we're meant to be

I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
The man in the mirror isn't looking at me

I remember when we met I was in a bad place of mind
And you didn't walk away
You just stood there, right there, by my side and you told me I was great
I'll never forget the first day that I saw your pretty face
I knew right then I was on the road and I finally found my way
Now I'm headed down this road and maybe I'll be lame
But I'm only one man and I'm doing all I can
Can you stand there with me?
Can you hold my name?
When you save my soul from going down in flames
I just wanna make life with the love of mine
Never look back to the bad place that I've come from
That I've been numb from
Now that I'm something
I just wanna make you mine
I wanna talk with you
I wanna walk with you
I wanna build this empire
Run with you
And take it off with you
I wanna spend all of my time

I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stand with you standing by my side
I don't wanna run
I don't wanna hide
I just wanna stand with you standing by my side

Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
Looking at the man in the mirror (mirror)
The man in the mirror isn't looking at me
