[Verse 1]
Sun rise and mi see yuh face
Breath calm inna dis whole place
Hard road, but yuh ease mi mind
Every step feel more aligned
When di day start press mi down
Yuh one smile turn mi around
No need riches, no need pride
Just yuh hand when yuh by mi side
[Pre-Chorus]
When yuh near, mi heart get light
All di dark fade out tonight
Come close, nuh let it slide
Stay right deh by mi side
[Chorus]
By my side, by my side
Keep yuh close, stay by mi side
By my side, by my side
Make mi strong when seas get wild
By my side, by my side
All mi fear can't find no place
By my side, by my side
Put di peace right pon mi face
[Verse 2]
Rain could fall pon di zinc roof loud
We still dance through di whole place proud
Yuh laugh sweet like a market tune
Pull mi soul like di draw of di moon
If mi slip, yuh catch mi quick
When mi weak, yuh make mi stick
Every scar start fade in time
When yuh name move through mi mind
[Pre-Chorus]
When yuh near, mi heart get light
All di dark fade out tonight
Come close, nuh let it slide
Stay right deh by mi side
[Chorus]
By my side, by my side
Keep yuh close, stay by mi side
By my side, by my side
Make mi strong when seas get wild
By my side, by my side
All mi fear can't find no place
By my side, by my side
Put di peace right pon mi face
[Bridge]
If di world get rough again
Hold mi firm through sun and rain
One touch, and mi start revive
One love keep mi soul alive
[Final Chorus]
By my side, by my side
Keep yuh close, stay by mi side
By my side, by my side
Make mi strong when seas get wild
By my side, by my side
All mi fear can't find no place
By my side, by my side
Put di peace right pon mi face
