Stephen Schwartz — 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)
