Janis Ian — On the Other Side Live

[Intro] One of the cool things about being a songwriter is that sometimes you finish a song and you look at it and you think, "Wow. That's a pretty good song. I wonder why I wrote it." And what I’ve found over the years is water seeks its own level. Sooner or later, something will happen in my life or in the life of the world around me, and, uh, I'll look at the same song with new eyes and go, "Ah. That's why I wrote it." [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 hеro on the other side Oh, but all that I rеmember Is the children were in danger [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 [Verse 2] Tell me 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 The 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] Ora nobis, nobis pacem Ora nobis pacem Ora nobis, nobis pacem Ora nobis pacem Ora nobis, nobis pacem Ora nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis, nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis, nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis pacem Ora nobis, nobis pacem Ora nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis (Kyrie), nobis pacem (Kyrie) Ora nobis pacem (Kyrie) Kyrie
