See You On the Other Side

Sometimes you've got to go through something to get somewhere You've got to needle through nightmares...where nobody cares Once soaking in sunshine now drowning in the deep end of the black and the blue Survival of the savage...you do what you have to do You've got to get your heart wrecked to get your head right Swallowed by a serpent...laughing hooker getting high See you on the other side You've got to drive through the desert to get to the oasis Like a rabbit on the run where the wolf controls the races You've got to keep seeking aces even when the jokers play their jokes on you You do what you have to do You've got to get bruised by what's bad to get to what's good Sometimes you've just got to strike a match to the wood in a forest of fear Crushed by confusion to get crystal and clear Risk...Sometimes you just have to take that roller coaster ride See you on the other side In the bowels of a beast you travel through many tunnels You see sad scenes from your life...ugliness now unravels You've got to go through the terror so you can see through the storm You've got to give up those ghosts and give it to God After all you've been through you do what you have to do Take what is wicked and wrong now living righteous and right Walking by faith and never by sight See you on the other side
