The Other Side

A circle has more than one sides, 
And a story has many meanings. 
You and I are totally different;
 Until we die then we rest the same. 

Who am I to say you're wrong? 
When we're right in our own ways.
The grass is greener on the other side;
But  which side do you stand and gaze.

You're on the outside looking in...
So you'll never see what I can.
I see someone crying for love...
You just see an ordinary man. 

I see the light in the darkest night.  
In a room of outrage I heard you sigh.  
Rivers of tears flowing from your eyes, 
To wash away the pain you feel inside.
