Other Side Of The World

Laura Shay


Read me the Kerouac
Sing me the stories untold
Give me the joy
In the pieces of life that you hold
Tell me you love me
And tell me I fell from the firmament
Tell me that anything's possible
Under the sun

On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world

Off on the Delaware
Off to horizons of gold
Take all the marrow of life
Pour it into my soul
Tell me you'll come with me
Leave all conventions behind
If not forever
Then maybe just for tonight

To the other side of the world
To the other side of the world

I have the earth at my feet
And the light in my eyes
I have the wings of a bird
And the heart of a lion
Raise up my arms
To the god of the sun and the sea
Shedding my skin, I'm reborn
Only beauty I breathe

On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
