By My Side
[UZO]
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Can you take me with you?
For my hand is cold
And needs warmth
Where are you going?
Far beyond where the horizon lies
Where the horizon lies
And the land sinks into mellow blueness
Oh please, take me with you
Let me skip the road with you
I can dare myself
I can dare myself
I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk (watch me)
I can walk and walk

And I shall call the pebble Dare
(I shall call the pebble Dare)
We will talk together about walking
Dare shall be carried
And when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe, singing
"Meet your new road!"
Then I'll take your hand
Finally glad
(Finally glad)
That you are here
By my side
(By my side, by my side)
By my side
(By my side, by my side)
By my side
(That you are here, by my side)
[Spoken by Judas] (Matt. 26:14-16)
Then the man they called Judas Iscariot
Went to the chief priest, and said
"What will you give me to betray Him to you?"
They paid him thirty pieces of silver

[Spoken by Uzo]
And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity
To betray Him

By my side
(By my side, by my side)
By my side
(By my side, by my side)
By my side
(That you are here, by my side)
