Other Side
Journey of Loss and Redemption in 'Other Side' by Tabor Sullivan
Lyrics
I was 13 when I lost you dad
I experienced the loss of my father at the age of 13.
I couldn't ease the pain that I really had but
I couldn't alleviate the emotional pain I felt.
I know you're watching me and every step I take
I believe my father is watching over me, observing my every move.
And I won't, ever really understand why but some things happen at the wrong time and
I don't completely understand why certain things happen at the wrong time.
I'll see you again and I can't wait.
I anticipate reuniting with my father in the future.
If I could, go back and see you one last time
If given the chance, I would go back in time to see my father once more.
I'd tell you everything was gonna be alright
I would assure him that everything would eventually be alright.
I've made a little bit of money
I have earned a modest amount of money.
And I've cried a few tears
I have shed tears in the face of challenges.
I've made quite a few mistakes
I have made several mistakes in life.
But I still say my prayers
Despite everything, I continue to offer my prayers.
Theres a girl that I've been chasing
I am romantically pursuing a girl.
And it's pretty hard to hide
It's challenging to conceal my feelings for her.
But some day we will all meet up again
I believe that someday we will reunite with our loved ones.
On the other side
This reunion is envisioned to occur on the 'other side,' possibly in an afterlife.
I can't bring back all the memories we made
I cannot bring back the past, including the memories we shared.
From hunting and fishing to a bible page but
These memories range from outdoor activities to moments involving religious practices.
I know you're doing good up in the sky
I believe my father is doing well in the afterlife.
But I guess I'm doin fine
Despite his absence, I feel that I am coping and moving forward.
I've made a little bit of money
I have earned a modest amount of money (repeated line).
And I've cried a few tears
I have faced challenges that brought me to tears (repeated line).
I've made quite a few mistakes
I have made several mistakes in life (repeated line).
But I still say my prayers
Despite everything, I continue to offer my prayers (repeated line).
Theres a girl that I've been chasing
I am romantically pursuing a girl (repeated line).
And it's pretty hard to hide
It's challenging to conceal my feelings for her (repeated line).
But some day we will all meet up again
I believe that someday we will reunite with our loved ones (repeated line).
On the other side
This reunion is envisioned to occur on the 'other side,' possibly in an afterlife (repeated line).
On the other side
This emphasizes the anticipation of a future reunion on the 'other side.'
