Stephen Schwartz By My Side
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 walk) I can walk (chorus) I can walk! I shall call the pebble Dare I shall call the pebble Dare We will walk, we will talk together We will talk (chorus) about walking Dare shall be carried (chorus) And when we both have had enough I will take him from my shoe, singing (chorus) "Meet your new road!" Then I'll take your hand Finally glad (chorus) Finally glad That you are here By my side (Chorus) By my side By my side By my side (Spoken, by Judas) (Matt. 26:14-16) Then the man they called Judas Iscariot Went to the chief priests, and said "What will you give me to betray Him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment, he began to look out for an opportunity To betray Him. (Chorus:) By my side By my side By my side By my side
