Other Side of it All

Other Side of It All

Lyrics and Music by Caleb Hawley

Years ago – The early thirties there was trouble

A whole nation of discouraged people

‘Til FDR made a deal

And we moved along

Today – Still seeing worry on the peoples face

The banks took all confidence out of this place

And there’s no money to be made

But we’ll find a way,

Everything’s gonna be ok – It always is

Chorus

Cause Ever since the world began

When the people go down, they get right back up again

I know that it’s hard to imagine

But it’s gonna happen – and I’ll see on the other side of the all

There is a town – In Germany that had to build a wall

Couldn’t get along so they just divided it all

But then they tore it down

And they moved along

But still – Across the map there’s all this tension built

Whole world living by division will

But I like to think it’ll change

You know we’ve seen it happen before

So I wouldn’t close your mind yet

Chorus

Bridge

I know it can see like forever

But in the span of it all you know it really ain’t to long

Cause we’ve been from slavery to freedom

Enemies to now we need them

In arguing found reason of it all

Ignorant to acceptant, out of touch to connected

Blown up to erected, underdog to elected

Followers to leaders, illiterate to readers

Skeptics to believers, we’ve come millions of meters

So how is everyone still talking how the worlds going down?

Chorus 2Xs
