Here by Your Side

I wrote this song to give words to something many of us feel but may struggle to express — that moment in life when the roles begin to shift, and we find ourselves caring for the very parents who once cared for us. This song was born from one of the most profound truths I’ve come to know — the beautiful circle of life between a mother and her child. From the moment she first held me, my mother gave everything she had. She fed me from her own body, soothed my cries in the night, taught me how to walk, to dream, and to stand on my own. She was my safe place, my greatest encourager, and the voice I could always turn to when the world felt too heavy. Now, the seasons have turned. Her hands are a little more fragile, her steps a little slower. And it is my turn — my honor — to give back the care, patience, and love she so freely poured into me. This song is my way of saying thank you, of holding her story close, and of honoring the sacred gift it is to walk beside her now, just as she once walked beside me. Here by Your Side Key: G major [Verse 1] You held me close that April morning The sun was new, the world was wide Fed me from your heart and body Sang me safe through every night Hands that taught me how to wander Still kept the door open wide Now the years have turned the tables And I’m right here by your side [Chorus] It’s my turn to hold you steady When the days feel cold and long My turn to lift what once you carried And be the arms you leaned upon All the love you gave so freely Now comes back a hundredfold It’s my turn, and it’s an honor To walk you gently toward your home [Verse 2] I still hear your Sunday singing While the biscuits warmed the air You’d stop and listen to my troubles Like no one else was ever there Now your hands are thin and fragile But they still reach out for mine And I’m proud to be the keeper Of the heart that once raised mine [Chorus] It’s my turn to hold you steady When the days feel cold and long My turn to lift what once you carried And be the arms you leaned upon All the love you gave so freely Now comes back a hundredfold It’s my turn, and it’s an honor To walk you gently toward your home [Bridge] Every season has its circle Every river meets the sea And your love has been the anchor Now you can rest, and lean on me [Final Chorus] It’s my turn to hold you steady When the days feel cold and long My turn to lift what once you carried And be the arms you leaned upon All the love you gave so freely Now comes back a hundredfold It’s my turn, and it’s an honor To walk you gently toward your home Copyright © 2025 James M.
