Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm headed for the other side, where the light is always right
Where we don't have all these heavy plights and the lovin' overrides
Though I'm told this time will never come, I want it anyhow
I'm goin' towards the better life, and I'm ready for it now
[Verse 2]
Pent up like water in a dam
Head down like all along
Messed up like all this news of guns
Like to get drawn
[Verse 3]
I'm goin' for the other side, where the light is always right
Where we don't have all these heavy plights and the lovin' overrides
Though I'm told this time will never come, I want it anyhow
I'm headed for the better life, and I'm ready for it now
[Verse 4]
Seeing the problems here at hand
Caught up with useless news and posts
Helpless and feeling like a ghost
Wearin' nice clothes
[Verse 5]
In these modern times, where we're disconnected from
Ourselves and this land, and we're always on the run
Can we turn about and notice what we are?
Living beings in the stars
[Verse 6]
I'm goin' for the other side, where the light is always right
Where we don't have all these heavy plights, and the lovin' overrides
And though I'm told this time will never come, I want it anyhow
I'm headed for the better life, and I'm ready for it now
[Verse 7]
I'm ready for it now
I'm ready for it now
I'm ready for it now
I'm ready for it now
