The North Country - What's on the Other Side? Lyrics

What's on the other side?
What's on the other side?
What's on the other side of all the things we are
What's on the other side?

What's on the other side of the sun?
What's on the other side of the moon?
What's on the other side of the child who sleeps with hunger
And the child who eats with a silver spoon
What's on the other side of the goodwill we have
That evaporates always too soon

What's on the other side?

What's on the other side of life?
What's on the other side of death?
What's on the other side of the memories we hold
On the moment of our final breath?

What's on the other side of the down and out?
What's on the other side of the up and in?
What's on the other side of the walls they built between us
From the fear of the color of your skin?
What's on the other side of the people we become
From the things that we hold within?

What's on the other side?
