Other Side

All I see is mountains.

so high that they hide me

so strong, they protect me

they tell me stories about my roots,

and watch over me while I'm sleeping.

but they don't let me see

what's on the other side

every night I try

but I just can't see the sky.

looking at them

makes me remember my promises

every day they say

"you can't go away."

no way to escape

no moon to look at

hide me from who?

protect me from what?

dreaming of the other side

I must not cry

I beg them every night

to let me see the sky.

one day I will sing

a song for your smile

one day I will be

with you on the other side.
