At your side - The Corrs

This is a great song to practice relative pronouns or first conditional, and also to talk about friendship.
Usually, I start the class by asking them to complete the sentence "A best friend is someone who...". Then, I explain that they are going to listen to a song where the person is describing what a great friend she is. I ask them to listen to the song and check if they would like to be friends with that person.
After they listen and complete some blanks, I ask them to use the song to complete again the sentence that was on the board "A best friend is someone who..."
If you want to practice first conditional, you can also ask them to use parts of the song to create first conditional sentences (eg. "If you need a friend, I will comfort you", "If you feel like you're alone, I'll be at your side")

Here's the lyrics of the song to copy and use it:


"At Your Side"
The Corrs

When the daylight's gone
And you're on your own
And you need a friend
Just to be around

I will comfort you
I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through
I will understand

And you know that...

I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
When you feel like you're alone
Or you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side

If life's standing still
And your soul's confused
And you cannot find
What road to choose

If you make mistakes
You won't let me down
I will still believe
I won't turn around

And you know that...

I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
And you've nowhere to turn

I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side

I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
You've got someone to go
'Cause I'm at your side
