On the other side

The empty page before me now
The pen is in my hand
The words don't come so easy
But I'm tryin'
I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line
They can slip away from us so quickly
Don't be unkind
I'm not complaining
I only feel
It needs explaining
And though I've said it
All before I
Say it once again
Everyone needs somethin'
To believe in
So turn around
Turn around
It's on the other side
Feel the sound
Feel the sound
It's comin' from deep inside
It will fill you with emotion if you
Let it be your guide
So
Turn around
Turn around
It's on the other side
I'm waiting for the day to end another to begin
Somehow I've forgotten what it stood for
I look into your face and see the searching in your eyes
I will be your servant till the end
The music plays
And for a moment I feel
That all these days
Are so fulfilling
And though I've said it
All before I
Say it once again
Everyone needs somethin'
To believe in
So turn around
Turn around
It's on the other side
Feel the sound
Feel the sound
It's on the other side
It will fill you with emotion if you
Let it be your guide
So
Turn around
Turn around
It's on the other side
Desperation shows its ugly face in many ways
No one can escape the times we live in
The answers are so simple
And we all know where to look
It's easier
Just to avoid the question
And if I seem
Too inconclusive
It's just because
It's so elusive
And though I've said it
All before I'll
Say it once again
Everyone needs somethin'
To believe in
So
Turn around
Turn around
It's on the other side
Feel the sound
Feel the sound
It's coming from deep inside
It will fill you with emotion if you
Let it be your guide
So
Turn around
Turn around
It's on the other
Side
