Side by Side

 UNSUPPORTED CODE "Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest." - C.S. Lewis UNSUPPORTED CODE 

I want to rise above the clouds
I seek a land beyond the seas
 UNSUPPORTED CODE I want to swim among the stars
And dance among the rustling trees UNSUPPORTED CODE 

There’s so much of this world I want to see
Who will come and share these sights with me?
I’m going ‘round this bend, ("you too?")
Oh, perfect! it’s decided then…

Let’s walk together, side by side
And start a trip that never ends
We’ll cross the paths, both far and wide
Let’s do this all, because we’re friends

My eyes can sweep a farther spread
 UNSUPPORTED CODE My hands will reach a higher edge UNSUPPORTED CODE 
While thorny are the roads we tread
 UNSUPPORTED CODE We’ll never part, this is our pledge UNSUPPORTED CODE 

We'll walk together, side by side
And make our journey never end
We’ll cross the paths, both far and wide
Let’s do this all, because we’re friends

We’ll face them down, the wind and tide
 UNSUPPORTED CODE We’ll stride beneath the storms in ease UNSUPPORTED CODE 
We’ll laugh and cry, enjoy our ride
 UNSUPPORTED CODE We’ll soar like eagles in the breeze UNSUPPORTED CODE 

So come, and come, let more arrive
Let joy increase, and not divide

Our story’s more than you and I
But we’ll be walking hand in hand
 UNSUPPORTED CODE Through thick and thin, we don’t ask why
We do this all, because we’re friends UNSUPPORTED CODE
