Brendan James - The Other Side

卜超 制作

I was a child once

The fear of the world in my eye

Far from the safety of the other side

I colored by numbers

Learned how to tie my own shoes

Like all of the others

I just prayed I’d make it through

Prayed I would make it through

Oh Mother

look how your boy turned out

300 miles from that small town

You never stopped believing

Oh Daddy

It hurt to watch you walking out

But understand it made me stronger now

And so satisfied

So full of pride

Thank you here from the other side

I’ll always remember

The kids and how mean they’d been

Eleven years old and I could not fit in

But I made it through high school

And college according to plan

Where pressure was never greater to become a man

Would I become a man

Oh Mother

Look how your boy turned out

300 miles from that small town

You never stopped believing

Oh Daddy

It hurt to watch you walking out

But understand it made me stronger now

And so satisfied

So full of pride

Thank you here from the other side

Thank you here from the other side

Mother look how your boy turned out

300 miles from that small town

And Dad it hurt to watch you walking out

Hear the piano do the crying now

For all the preachers and the teachers now

For all the ones who never let me down

I’m so satisfied

So full of pride

Standing here on the other side

Thank you here from the other side

Thank you here from the other side

Outro:

Here on the other side I’m taking my time

There’s nothing to fear

There’s nothing to worry about on the other side

I remember when I thought I’d never find

The other side
