The Other Side Lyrics
We should overcome,
There's enough at stake,
For us to tear the walls down and escape.
Leave it all behind,
Erase and start anew,
It's not a question - if it's just what we should do.
There's hope for anyone on the other side.
But what's the use in hope if we're afraid of trying?
We should understand,
And try to sympathize,
With the kind of people we despise.
There's nothing left to lose,
Except for compromise,
Looking at the world through someone else's eyes.
We've got a lot to learn from the other side,
But we're too proud to see what we're busy denying.
There's salvation waiting on the other side,
We don't want to live, but we're afraid of dying.
Life is what you choose,
Love is what you make,
Success is based on chances that you take.
So, we're the ones to blame,
If absolution is denied,
Because we were so concerned about the other side.
There's enough at stake,
For us to tear the walls down and escape.
Leave it all behind,
Erase and start anew,
It's not a question - if it's just what we should do.
But what's the use in hope if we're afraid of trying?
And try to sympathize,
With the kind of people we despise.
There's nothing left to lose,
Except for compromise,
Looking at the world through someone else's eyes.
But we're too proud to see what we're busy denying.
We don't want to live, but we're afraid of dying.
Love is what you make,
Success is based on chances that you take.
So, we're the ones to blame,
If absolution is denied,
Because we were so concerned about the other side.
