When a generation's coming of age,
Choosing a path, turning the page,
Another generation's watching to show the way,
They're reaching, teaching and by design,
Giving and receiving, passing it all down the line.
Making a connection, thriving side by side,
Season after season, ebbing and flowing like the tide,
Taking in the wonder, spreading far and wide,
Being there together, sharing it all,
Side by side.
Many times it happens, just by surprise,
Out in the world, in front of your eyes,
You see a little kindness, someone who lends a hand,
The caring, sharing spreads like a vine,
When they return the kindness, passing it on down the line.
Making a connection, thriving side by side,
Season after season, ebbing and flowing like the tide,
Taking in the wonder, spreading far and wide,
Being there together, sharing it all,
Side by side.
Now with you by my side, suddenly everything's bright,
And with you by my side, everything seems to go right,
So right.
Making a connection, thriving side by side,
Season after season, ebbing and flowing like the tide,
Taking in the wonder, spreading far and wide,
Being there together, sharing it all,
Side by side.
Making a connection,
Sharing it all,
Side by side.
