 Intro

 Verse 1

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

 Chorus /

On the other side On the other side

  Expecting great things on the other side

 Verse 2

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

 Chorus /

On the other side On the other side

  Finally free to walk out on the other side

 Verse 3

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

 Chorus /

On the other side On the other side

  No, there were no lights on the other side

  On the other side On the other side

  Yeah, the lights were off on the other side

 Verse 4

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

 Chorus /

On this side On this side

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