Side of the River Songtext
von Shlomo Gleyzer

Leaving my father′s house
Leave it all behind
Going forth from the birth land
On a quest to find
Setting my own path
Following my light
In a world full of darkness
Can one man take on the fight
Spread the message to the world
So they call out in your name I will let the light shine
From the light that is mine
I will kindle all the flames
Spread the message to the world
So they call out in your name
You and your verses are one
But it's the world versus one
It doesn′t seem like a fair game
No, I up against world
Up against world


I'm on the other side of the river
I'm on the other side of the river
But my song will stride
As long as I′m alive
I′m on the other side
I'm on the other side
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river

Leading the nation out
No child left behind
Going forth from the cursed land
On a quest so blind
Forgetting the faith
Tell them His words so true
Pakod pakad′ti es'chem
I will surely remember you
Spread the message to the world
So they follow in your truth
I will let the light shine
From the light that is mine
I will find the fortitude
Spread the message to the world
So they follow in your truth
Entering the unknown
In a land that′s not sown
The lovingkindness of your youth
Yes, I'm up and I′ll be heard
Following your word

I'm on the other side of the river
I'm on the other side of the river
But my song will stride
As long as I′m alive
I′m on the other side
I'm on the other side
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river

Side of the river
To pride from a shiver
When the lights go dimmer
And the chances seem slimmer
But my light will glimmer
My shine will shimmer
You will see, in the end I′ll be the winner
When the whole world is up against me
I'll still succeed in what I do
No one in the whole world can prevent me
Yes, I still believe in you
I don′t live in skepticism, don't give into terrorism
You can keep your criticism, This is my life I′m living
Living it up, living in sublime light
Never give up, when your in the limelight
I know it's time, when I'm hitting twilight
I know that it′s mine, I know that it′s my light
And I gonna let my light shine, light scope, light switch
When I'm on that tight rope, you give me that tight grip
Please help me cope, put me in the right script
Fulfill the hope of Your kingship
I will be the lighthouse in the storm, I will not conform
One man on a quest to find, Changing hearts, changing minds
For every one believer, 499 listened to the deceivers
Started with 499, Then sunk to 49
Then sunk to 4, now there′s no more
Side of the river, you were only one
But you are the winner, yes, you're the one,
You′re the one echad haya Avraham
You're the one echad haya Avraham

Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river
Oh oh oh oh
Side of the river

I′m on the other side of the river
