Lyrics

The mother held her son
Inside her arms for the first time
His fingertips inside her own
So tucked away from harm
He nuzzled clinging endlessly
Please don't leave me all alone

Be on my side
Be on my side

He let go of her hand
And climbed aboard the yellow bus
New faces scowled as he walked by
He took a window seat
And turned his head for one last look
She grew so small waving goodbye

Be on my side
Be on my side

Worries come and go
A rising tide
A passing season
A steady wind will blow
You're out of time
You've got no reason to

The son now holds his mom
Inside his arms for the last time
She sees her little baby boy
Her body frail and weak
She reaches out to touch his smile
A fading slideshow tears of joy

Be on my side
Be on my side
