"Otherside" lyrics

"Otherside"

I heard the blackbird sing and knew I hadn't slept
A sound so full of hope that finally I wept
What do I know of this sweet life, what do I care?
Her voice rang out, I am alive, I am still here

And I sing out for my freedom
I sing out for my life
I sing out for another day
I get to make it right

I asked the dawnbird, can you see?
What does it feel like
On the other side?
On the other side of?

I heard the mother of the world cry out with grief
What is this sound that seems to echo out of me?
What must I do with this one life, who really cares?
The world sang back, you are alive, you are still here

Go and sing out for your freedom
Sing out for your life
Sing out for another day
You get to make it right

I asked the evening dwindling light, what can you see?
What does it feel like
On the other side?
On the other side of the night?
Tell me what it feels like?
Tell me what it looks like?
Tell me you've made it through the night?
When you've made it to the other side
When you crossing 'ore the great divide
Tell me you've made it through the night

Well you've never felt so crazy
When you're going fucking sane
When you're hitching your hopes in the howling rain
You never made it through the longest night
When you made it to the other side
Tell me you made it out alive
Hold out for the calling
Hey, catch you when you're falling
Hey, tell me you made it through the night
Tell me you made it through the night
Tell me you made it out alive
Tell me you made it

Did you make it through?
