Lyrics:

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.

Pent up like water in a dam.
Head down like all the lonely ones.
Messed up like all this news of guns,
That like to get drawn.

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.

Seeing the problems here at hand.
Caught up with useless news and posts.
Helpless and feeling like a ghost,
Wearing nice clothes.

In this modern time, where we’re disconnected from
Ourselves and this land and we’re always on the run.
Can we turn about and notice what we are?
Living beings in the stars.

I’m headed for the other side, where the light is always right.
Where we don’t have all these heavy plights, and the loving overrides.
‘Though I’m told this time will never come, I want it anyhow.
I’m going for the better life and I’m ready for it now.
