The Other Side - Tina Dico

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

On 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

On the other side

Finally free to walk out on the other side

That’s when 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

On the other side

No, there were no lights on the other side

On the other side

Yeah, the lights were off on the other side

Now, 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

I’ll just stay and live my life on this side
