I Need You By My Side

by Salman, age 17, from Pakistan

I Need You By My Side

When the world just breaks apart
And I start losing hope
When pain fills up my heart
And I'm at the end of the rope
I need you by my side

When music fills the air
And the sun is shining bright
When the wind ruffles my hair
Something is still not right
I need you by my side

In comfort or in fear
In winter or in heatÊ
Through laughter or a tear
Without you, I'm incomplete
I need you by my side
You'll always be my guide
I need you by my side
