the other side...

This is a piece you can take alot of ways. :)

i wish i was on the other side

that's where all my fortune lies

over there...and away from here

everything is oh so clear

on the other side

 

you take mary

i'll take sue

i know what she means to you

hand in hand we'll sail along

to that place where all have gone

to the other side

 

aint' no reason to hang around

been down every street in town

don't need money

don't need fame

hope somebody knows my name

on the other side

 

oh i could be...what ever i could be

and i... can do...

whatever I wanted... to do

is love true...

 

come with me

where the grass is green

and the clouds float by

like a summers dream

i've seen all i need to see

let's walk the shores of a distant sea

on the other side

i'll take my chances

leave it all behind

just to find...what i may find

it's always beautiful...over there

got no worries...got no care

on the other side

 

oh i can be... what ever i can be

and i...can do...

what ever i wanted... to do

is love true...

on the other side

I really liked it, it is indeed so thoughtful and I guess most of us can relate ourselves with it!
This is indeed the truth of life and I'm glad that you wrote something upon this idea of life...
Also, I loved the way you have written it and I'm sure it will make a great song lyric!
Great work, as always :)

I wish I could write like this, also i wish i could "take my chances leave it all behind" I hope you continue writing.

What is it like on the other side does the pain go away, or the love return, is there peace and the sound angelic music flowing. Miss you old friend, miss those chats and good ole days of everyone trying to out do each other, the sadness, the laughter, the tears and smiles. There will never be the dark and light we all shared from then but the memories will always be...

So sad...so beautiful. Thank you Rain.

this has got to be sung! Very lovely flowing piece!
Sometimes i can't wait to get away from it all, just thinking of all the glory there is in store...on the better side. :)
I really loved this, it's lighthearted and carefree tone's very appealing.
Well done! :D
