I've been so afraid
To see your changing face
To know if you still love me the same

'Cause all I've got is what you built us
I became the things you taught us
And when I'm lost
It's all I've got

It's time to take my own advice
And go back to the Lakeside
Where I can see myself in your eyes
As I am
Take me back to my home again
Friend
I remember you said
If you ever forget who you are
Meet me at the Lakeside

I'm sorry I ran out
I couldn't bear to drag my feet downtown
But I'm ready now to be my mother's child

Will you meet me on the corner?
And we'll dance out on the water
Like we did
When we were kids

It's time to take my own advice
And go back to the Lakeside
Where I can see myself in your eyes
As I am
Take me back to my home again
Friend
I remember you said
If you ever forget who you are

Child
I'm always on your side
Watching as the world is getting so wild
Remember what I told you at Lakeside
Child
Don't let them drown you out
Even as the world is getting so loud
If you ever forget who you are

Meet me at the Lakeside
Lakeside
