Janis Ian - On the Other Side lyrics
[Janis Ian - On the Other Side lyrics]
They say there was a fire on the night I died
All I am is gone still the soul holds on
They tell me I'm a hero on the other side
Oh, but all that I remember
Is the children were in danger
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
They say that you were with me
When the building fell
Strange to have you near
After all these years
They say I couldn't possibly
Have done it by myself
Did you see our photographs
As they crumbled into ash?
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
And I, who never could believe
Never saw the need
Wanted just to see your face again
Nothing to hold on to now I've found you
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side
The angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
On the other side
Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit
Sursum, Domini, sursum Domini
Ora pro nobis, in ora pro nobis pacem kyrie
In ora Kyrie eleison kyrie
All I am is gone still the soul holds on
They tell me I'm a hero on the other side
Oh, but all that I remember
Is the children were in danger
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
They say that you were with me
When the building fell
Strange to have you near
After all these years
They say I couldn't possibly
Have done it by myself
Did you see our photographs
As they crumbled into ash?
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
And I, who never could believe
Never saw the need
Wanted just to see your face again
Nothing to hold on to now I've found you
On the other side children laugh and sing
On the other side
The angels earn their wings
On the other side on the other side
On the other side
Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit
Sursum, Domini, sursum Domini
Ora pro nobis, in ora pro nobis pacem kyrie
In ora Kyrie eleison kyrie
