The Other Side

Oh how foolish you are with your frivolous mind 
To think my love is like any other kind

In time when you leave this world from which you stand
I will open your eyes to everything I have planned

Freedom from pain and fear is what your future is to behold
In these streets I have paved with shimmering gold

Worry and doubt will all be left behind
And replaced with more hope than you will ever find

I will be there to meet you with a smile upon my face
Ready to say welcome home as you walk into my gentle embrace

How beautiful. I think I like the other side. Freedom with a gentle embrace. Nothing better than that.
