The Other Side

from Sandcastles by Elijah Russ

lyrics

We can’t wait ‘cause there’s little time
To build this bridge where the river’s wide
Across the banks I can see your shine
We’ll find a way to see the other side

Some days can be so dark and dull
The sun won’t always shine on you and me
But there’s light inside our hearts & minds
We might just need some help to set it free

But I can’t be one to say the truth is just one way
I can’t be too sure that love is the cure to all our darkest days
But something’s got to give
The pressure’s building in
And it will get worse if we don’t converse so I’ll say

We can’t wait ‘cause there’s little time
To build this bridge where the river’s wide
Across the banks I can see your shine
We’ll find a way to see the other side

And maybe it’s true
The current flowing through might be too strong for one man
So hold my hand through the cold, cold water
We can make it
We can make it, yes we can

But I can’t be one to say the truth is just one way
I can’t be too sure that love is the cure to all our darkest days
But something’s got to give
The pressure’s building in
And it will get worse if we don’t converse so I’ll say

We can’t wait ‘cause there’s little time
To build this bridge where the river’s wide
Across the banks I can see your shine
We’ll find a way to see the other side
