PETRICHOR - The Other Side Lyrics

Michael's still a little boy inside
But he's grown up tall and strong
Yeah, he'll shake your hand, and he'll meet your eye
But deep down he won't belong
And Ashley's fighting every day
To leave the past behind
But she knows there's a long road still before
She'll change her father's mind
Listen to the other side, the other side
There's no telling what we'll find
Lookin' through each other's eyes, each other's eyes
And leave the walls we hide behind
I'll never know until I know
What makes you hurt
What makes you glow
Until we reach the other side, other side
And leave all of this fight behind
Now John, he's worked hard all his life
And he calls this land his own
But these immigrants are taking people's jobs
And he's about to lose his home
Meanwhile, there, just across the line
Young Maria's running hard
She dreams of a home that's safe and sound
And a place to raise her child
Listen to the other side, the other side
There's no telling what we'll find
Lookin' through each other's eyes, each other's eyes
And leave the walls we hide behind
I'll never know until I know
What makes you hurt
What makes you glow
Until we reach the other side, other side
And leave all of this fight behind
It don't matter who is in the wrong
Or who knows what is right
Those eyes there staring back at you
Deserve to have their sight
Yeah even God put on flesh to come and live
Where faith and fear collide
So you've got the choice let's make it now
To love or cast aside
Listen to the other side, the other side
There's no telling what we'll find
Lookin' through each other's eyes, each other's eyes
And leave the walls we hide behind
I'll never know until I know
What makes you hurt
What makes you glow
Until we reach the other side, other side
And leave all of this fight behind
And now there's you just listening here
So stand up and take a bow
But don't waste another hour, day or year
And love your brother now
