Lyrics of The Other Side of Life
 
The world today is frightening, it’s turning upside down
The values I once held so dear are nowhere to be found
I don’t know where I’m coming from, or where I want to be
One and one and one and one will never add up to three.

That’s the other side of life I’ve been living
That’s the other side of life
The truths I’ve known are fading out of view
In a world that’s broken, looking for the new
That’s the other side of life.

All the truths that I was taught, I found were never true
But trying to find the answers was impossible to do
And why do all the losers believe they’re always winning?
Frowned upon by everyone, they just stand there grinning.

That’s the other side of life I’ve been living
That’s the other side of life
The truths I’ve known are fading out of view
In a world that’s broken, looking for the new
That’s the other, other side of life.

The hell they prefer will never lead to heaven
They say "what the hell" and call it even
To many thoughts I’m a prisoner, but some will set me free
One flower in a field of weeds is good enough for me.

So let’s hope for a brighter tomorrow and forgive the misgiving
Reflect on the fact and never look back
On the other side of life we’re living
The other side
The other side of life.
