New "Folk" song...
there are people in this country
they are nasty, they are mean
they shout out tired slogans
in an endless bitter stream
They lean far left and they lean far right
surprised they don't fall down
and somehow they can't seem to see
the pain that's all around
I'm on the other side, I am
I'm on the other side
if you choose word games over people
I'm on the other side
I grew up in this land I love
my country it tis of thee
I sing and pray and speak in praise
of your grace and charity
but there are those who cannot spare
a second or a thought
to share their love and fortune
and the comfort they have bought
But I'm on the other side, I am
I'm on the other side
if you choose money over kindness
I'm on the the other side
Bridge
so many things divide us
that it's hard to talk these days
we come from different places
and we don't all think the same
but those of every party
who believe we should be free
for one and all to have their say
they are a lot like me
Cause I'm on the other side , I am
I'm on the other side
If you must shout their voices down
then I 'm on the other side
I'm on the other side, I am
I'm on the other side
I will speak and say with pride
That I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side, I am
I'm on the other side
and I will fight to change your mind
cause I'm on the other side
I will fight to change your mind
cause I'm on the other side
