I'm On Your Side

Richard Kiley


Where did you go
Where oh where did you go
Little man don't you know
That I'm on your side

Why did you go
Why oh why did you go
Little man let me show you
I'm on your side

This world is an ocean without any shore
When you're on your own

Dawn is the end of the rope
When you're all alone
I've been, I've seen
I've known it

Where can you be 
Where oh where can you be
Hurry back and you'll see
That I'm on your side

Where did you run
Why oh why did you run
From the one, only one
Who is on your side

Everybody needs a friend
Come make use of me
God gave people 
Hands to lend
Mine are free

So why stay away
Come what may
I'm on your side!

I'm on your side!

Why did you go
Why oh why did you go
Little man let me show you
I'm on your side

This world is an ocean without any shore
When you're on your own

Dawn is the end of the rope
When you're all alone
I've been, I've seen
I've known it

Where can you be
Where oh where can you be
Hurry back and you'll see
That I'm on your side

Where did you run
Why oh why did you run
From the one, only one
Who is on your side

Daylight soon will turn and go
Soon the night will fall
Nighttime is a horror show
When you're small

So don't stay away
Come what may
I'm on your side!
