By My Side

you and me together thick as thieves stay with me through the con and the gag my cohort my ally my comrade just until the punchline I’ll follow you in your footsteps I can’t do it not without you you are the light I’ll devote to your disciple your partisan your apostle in your lessons never ending you’ll be there for me always by my side ‘cause you stand for me blood on your iron my raison d’être is to rout with you my chevalier my front lionheart my courageous knight your sword raised for me matched by my own shield the nature of our bond there’s nothing I can say that will carry meaning enough to express it transcendent of title I proudly exclaim as your very pride and joy your one and only heir your affectionate son I appreciate you and the wealth of your life
