SONG LYRICS AND POETRY
"The Other Side"

Don Conoscenti

I'm over on the other side where life and death softly divide
I left my skin and bones behind now I'm over on the other side
Can you feel me there with you?
My breath is gone but I'm not through
I loved you then and I still do from over on the other side

I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Tell 'am all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side

It's good here on the other side
The sweetest songs, the bluest skies
Thank you for the tears you cried, but it's good here on the other side
I can fly

The world is smaller than a needle's eye
Where life and death softly divide
When you leave your skin and bones behind I'll be waiting on the other side

I can fly, really fly
Below the earth, all through the sky
Go tell 'em all I did not die
I'm just over on the other side

The song, from the album "Paradox of Grace," was submitted Don Ackerman and Jean Detrick, Norwood.
