James Newton Howard
The Other Side
Standing in the door, you're frozen still
Captured by your doubts
And you know you might never go at all
If you don't go now
Friends don't understand, what drives you on
They say they're worried about you
You know they mean well
But still somehow, it tears you in two
You've always told yourself
There's something more out there
How can you leave the world that's kept you safe
Wish you could give up and stop thinking at all
But you know that it's too late
It's like a river
That you've always looked for
Then you're standing with your dreams
Right there on the shore
Suddenly it seems so wide
You've got to believe
It will all look different
From the other side
Walking down the streets you love so well
Now you just seem like a stranger
Wondering in your heart
How long you've been feeling this way
Part of you's thinking that
You've found a different road
You almost touch it when you close your eyes
Part of you're thinking just go back while you can
But how can you fight the tide
It's like a river
That you've always looked for
Then you're standing with your dreams
Right there on the shore
Suddenly it seems so wide
You've got to believe
It will all look different
From the other side
Oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...
From here it seems so deep and wide
But you'll see it on the other side
Standing on the other side
So much joy, so much feelings
Standing on the other side
You'll be laughing, playing
You'll be laughing, playing
Standing on the other side
Standing on the other side...
