Janis Ian — On the Other Side

[Verse 1] They say there was a fire on the night I died All I am is gone Still the soul holds on They tell me I'm a hero on the other side Oh, but all that I remember Is the children were in danger [Chorus] On the other side Children laugh and sing On the other side Angels earn their wings On the other side On the other side [Verse 2] They say that you were with me When the building fell Strange to have you near After all these years They say I couldn't possibly Have done it by myself Did you see our photographs As they crumbled into ash? [Chorus] On the other side Children laugh and sing On the other side Angels earn their wings On the other side On the other side [Bridge] And I, who never could believe Never saw the need Wanted just to see your face again Nothing to hold on to Now I've found you [Chorus] On the other side Children laugh and sing On the other side The angels earn their wings On the other side On the other side On the other side [Outro] Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit Sursum, Domini, sursum Domini Ora pro nobis, in ora pro nobis pacem Kyrie In ora Kyrie eleison Kyrie
