THE OTHER SIDE
I’ve never worked an honest day in my life
So they think
I never cared much for them anyway
The power to judge other people
Makes us very important to ourselves
Then again, maybe that’s all that matters
On the other side
Sometimes I wonder if this is the life I was meant to lead
Or did I end up on the other side to early
Never to see all I could
Maybe I did not follow the path I should have
Make the choices I was supposed to make
Take the road we are all expected to take
The perfect life we are all meant to have
It would get pretty crowded at the end
A long stuffy ride to the other side
Maybe if everyone liked me for my money
I could take it away
And see how lonely I truly am
We are all alone
But which is worse
To be alone
Or to have so little imagination
That you can’t pretend that you aren’t
Take a breath, a sip of wine
And I’ll see you
On the other side
Take life one step at a time
Things might taste better, look better or feel better
Maybe I would be more like you
If I sped up the world
Just to get it done
Live life one step at a time
Perhaps live life one train wreck at a time
I think I will enjoy my ride more
To the other side
The other side is were we will be
Doesn’t matter how I choose to do it
Let my eyes see how it really is
Instead of believing what I am told to before I even there
You do it your way
I’ll stick with mine
We will exchange notes
On the other side
