Flash of light in a young man's eyes A dark truth and a little white lie A crying shame comes over you But it's too late to deny So tie a rope around your waist and jump There's more to life than trying to add it up But things are pretty when they're blowing up So save yourself the time 'Cause God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye Oh God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye Spend my youth drawing lines in the sand Standing up because we think we can Build a castle on the softest land Let nature come decide Love is knowing that you cannot win Never trying to do it over again Outside of any place in time Love is never shy 'Cause God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye Oh God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye We're all liars and we're thieves We're all drunks and Pharisees And we can't hold our own against the end And time is not with us Though we glitter in the dust She calls my name, but never calls us friends Calls us friends, friends I said God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye I said God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye I said God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye I said God, He's on your side, He's on your side Long as you let Him, He won't say goodbye Nah, He won't say goodbye Oh, He won't say goodbye
