By My Side

FIRST SOLOIST
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?

BOTH SOLOS
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 condemn myself (I condemn myself)
I condemn myself (I condemn)

I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk
I can walk it (I can walk it)
I shall call the pebble dare (I shall call the pebble dare)
We will talk together about walking
There shall be caring
And when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe
Singing "Meet your new road"
And I'll take your hand
Finally glad (finally glad)
That you are here (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)

JOHN/JUDAS
(spoken)
And then the man they called Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests and said "What will you give me to betray him to you?" and they gave him thirty pieces of silver.  And from that moment he began to look out for an opportunity to betray him.

FIRST SOLO
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)
