I had a dream last night
The worst in many years
Had me biting on my pillow
Had me waking up in tears
I was knocking on a door
I’d been knocking all my life
Expecting great things on the other side

The other side
The other side
Expecting great things on the other side

There was a beam of light
I sensed the time was near
I was getting all excited
Saw my future bright and clear
The lock gave out a roar
And the door slid open wide
I was free to walk out on the other side

The other side
The other side
Finally free to walk out on the other side

That’s where the dream got frightening
I was not at all prepared
For the empty hall that met me
And the truth that lived in there
The castle and the king
And the diamonds in the sky
Were nowhere to be seen on the other side

The other side
The other side
No there were no lights on the other side
The lights were off on the other side

If the dream is right
And if I’m thinking clear
I guess I should be thankful
To have woken up right here
And not half way up a ladder
Into an empty sky
Not looking for a better
Place to live my life
No, I think I’ll just stay and live it on this side

On this side
On this side
I’ll just stay and live my life on this side
