The Other Side Lyrics

I had a dream last night The worst in many years Had me biting on my pillow Had me waking up in tears I was knocking on a door I'd been knocking all my life Expecting great things on the other side

The other side The other side Expecting great things on the other side

There was a beam of light I sensed the time was near I was getting all excited Saw my future bright and clear The lock gave out a roar And the door slid open wide I was free to walk out on the other side

The other side The other side Finally free to walk out on the other side

That's where the dream got frightening I was not at all prepared For the empty hall that met me And the truth that lived in there The castle and the king And the diamonds in the sky Were nowhere to be seen on the other side
The other side The other side No there were no lights on the other side The lights were off on the other side

If the dream is right And if I'm thinking clear I guess I should be thankful To have woken up right here And not half way up a ladder Into an empty sky Not looking for a better Place to live my life No, I think I'll just stay and live it on this side

On this side On this side I'll just stay and live my life on this side
