about

This song was written near the end of my previous band Bad Hare Day. Lyrically it’s a commentary on the apathy that I see in myself and in many Christian churches today in America. The song ends with a declaration that like Christ I will walk along side the least of these in this life. I pray that I constantly strive for that. Musically this song came at a point in my writing where I was getting away from more punk type songs and venturing into more of a heavy rock feel. I tracked drums live with Tim which was of course, very fun.

lyrics

A girl is crying
But I walk by on the other side
A man is hurting
He is looking for something to take the edge off
Something to ease his mind
I walk by on the other side

I walk by on the other side
I might as well be blind
Cause I see with my eyes not with my heart
When I walk by on the other side

“Its not my problem” thinking
Has got us into a poor was of seeing
We walk by on the other side
Our brothers and our sisters
Are broken and bleeding and dying and crying
But we walk by on the other side

I will walk by your side
