The Other Side

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

What's the use in hope if we're afraid of trying

We should understand

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

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

Cuz we were so concerned about the other side
