On The Other Side
Michael w. smith
Im not how I used to be
When we hung around
Back when it was you and me
Tearin up this town
We used to live our lives running from change
Now we dont see eye to eye
I am not the same
Chorus:
And you wonder where Ive gone
Well, Ive found where I belong
Im on the other side
True - I used to walk your shore
But Im not there anymore
Im on the other side
Years fade like the setting sun
Turning us loose
They give us many ways to run
And many roads to choose
Well, I ran into saving grace
Headed for nowhere
Love showed me another place
And brought me there
Chorus
Why is it hard for you to see
All the changes made in me
Here on the other side
Oh, I could help you understand
And you could join me where I am
I am on the other side

Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd,
They want you to speak but the music is louder than -
All of their roar, with the heat of the planets core, but..
The shadows are on your side,
As soon as the lights go down.
In the darkest place you can find,
You belong to the hands of the night..
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend -
To a tune of its own, hey youll never hear that voice again.
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that youre having the time of your life -
When your life is on the slide, but..
(chorus) (chorus)
-
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar..
Whichever way you can be sure, that...
(chorus) (chorus)
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on..

Love Comes From The Other Side
When things get bad at home, you dont feel like being alone,
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared are just no longer there,
And love comes from the other side of town.
(chorus)
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything weve built with love was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.
The life Im livin now just dont seem right somehow,
But its the best way to get by that Ive found.
Theres no love left at home, were both just hangin on,
And love comes from the other side of town.
(chorus)
Love comes from the other side of town.

You Don't Belong Down Here
Sky rise so haunting on the other side of the street
Two thin white lines between where you are and where you should be
I know sometimes when you fly you think you're larger than life
But then you come crashing down and you're asleep on the ground
A king without his crown
Chorus:
You don't belong down here
You don't belong down here
You don't belong down here
Anymore, not ever
This park is an island in a sea of despair
In the heart of the city of angels who aren't even there
I see you praying for hope while you keep worshipping dope
The devil right by your side and i see death in your eyes
Will you live or do you have the will to die
Chorus
Doo, doo, doo, doo
I want to do things before they become
The things i should have done in my life
Chorus
We don't belong down here
You don't belong down here
You don't belong and we don't belong
We don't belong down here
We don't belong down here
We don't belong
No one belongs down here anymore
Not ever

Ill Be Around
Words & music: michael w. smith and bob farrell
Hey boy - did you find out
Whatcha had to know - n what its all about
When you started to move - just a step at a time
You never wanted to fall
You took a chance on the wild side
Hey, girl - cantcha come down
Are ya way at the top - afraid of somethin you found
Then you try to go back - not as easy to do
Did you find who you are
From a dance on the wild side
I know sometimes its hard for you
To keep your feet upon the path that youve chosen
Its not for you to walk alone
Together we can take this road where its going - hang on
Chorus 1:
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now dont give up - but dont give in
We will stand together to the end
And Ill be around - Ill be around, yeah
No joke - the sooner you find
It happens all the same - for every mothers child
When you walk in the dark - then you stumble and fall
Its a part of it all
When we dance on the wild side
But everybody needs someone
Who loves em through the toughest times - while theyre growing - yah
Who keeps a candle burning
When the darkness covers up the path where theyre going - hang on
Chorus 2:
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now dont give up - dont give in
We will stand together to the end
And Ill be around - come what may
Heaven hears us when we pray
So dont give up - but dont give in
We will stand together to the end
I will be there, my good friend
And Ill be around
Be around, Ill be around...
Ill walk this road with you
Wherever it may wind
And Ill be around
Chorus 2

By My Side
Tonight I saw the glimpse of your
Smile fade my own
Reflection all your look
So beautifully
A tear went down my face
And all my memories erase
Oh why do you have to leave my side
Oh why do all the rivers flow
into the ocean
And why does all the love in the world
comes from the heart
And why does all the pain I feel
Comes from deep inside
Oh these questions
I could have answered
If you were by my side
CHORUS:
Something made me look at you
Something made me do what I had to do girl
Somethind made me talk to you
Something made me do what I should
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
No everything the pain I feel
Slowly fades away
All the memories off you and me
Are always here to stay
Oh what I'm asking girl
Is one more chance
To let me in your life
Oh girl if you give me one more chance
Then I could be right by your side

Freaks On This Side
Freaks on this side, the freaks on this side {x8}
When u cant find the reason 4 the smoke
Theres probably water in the fire
When everything u know aint enough 2 float your boat
And ure lookin 4 somethin thatll take u higher
Chorus:
U got 2 get down (freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
2 a brand new sound (freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
In the water ull drown (freaks on this side, the freaks on this
Side)
But the lost is found (freaks on this side, the freaks on this side)
Come on, baby
When confusion tries 2 tear your world apart
And the demons fight 4 power
Thats the time u got 2 listen 2 your heart
No one knows the final hour
Chorus
When u see an illusion everywhere u look
When u know the process of creation
When u understand everything in every book
Congratulations - ure in the new power generation!
(freaks on this side, the freaks on this side) {x4}
The freaks on this side! {x3}
When everybody calls the truth by a different name
And the indifference between us still remains
God is love, love is God - simple and plain
Party in this way, theres so much more 2 gain
(freaks on this side, the freaks on this side) {repeat 2 end}
(get on down, down, down, down, down)
Freaks on this side
We drownin (get on down, down, down, down, down)
Yeah, yeah
U got 2 get down
(u got 2 get down) {x2}
Its new power generation
And ure groovin 2 another jam of the year
Think it aint when it is
And we be drownin
Glug, glug like a mug
Looka here - freak on this side
The freaks on this side
Looka here - on this side
On this side
The freaks on u got it on this side

Lachlan Side
REGION of damper and junk and tea,
Region of pastures wide!
The fairest spots in the world to me
Are out on the Lachlan Side.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side,
Where the bright lagoons are wide;
I long for river and grass and tree,
And someone dearer than all to me,
Far out on the Lachlan Side.
My heart was hardened against advice
And reason I would not see,
For by the ocean a paradise
The city appeared to me.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
“Not I for a bumpkin’s fate,” I cried,
“I’ll not be a country clown!
A life’s too slow on the Lachlan Side;
I’ll go to the shining town!”
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
I’ve lost the battle, I strike the flag,
The town may sink in the tide;
A wiser head and a lighter swag
I take to the Lachlan Side.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
When crops of wool on the plains shall grow,
Shall flourish in drought or rain,
And when the shearers begin to mow
I’ll come to the town again.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
But now I go to a kinder fate,
If her love still conquers pride;
Her heart was true when she sobbed, “I’ll wait
For you on the Lachlan Side.”
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side,
Where the bright lagoons are wide;
I long for river and grass and tree,
And someone dearer than all to me,
Far out on the Lachlan Side.

The Other Side Of Me
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
If they were to write about
The story of my life
They would have to mention you
With every page they'd write
There's another side to every story told
If i were the ocean
You would be the shore
And one without the other one
Would be needing something more
We are the shadow and the light
Chorus:
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
I have known the emptiness
Of feeling out of touch
And living life without you here
Would be living half as much
Cause i've a need that only you can fill
If love was mathematical
You'd understand the sum
To the heart's equation
Where one and one makes one
And lonely equals me minus you

The Other Side
The waiting game is over, no need for pretending, we were meant to be
Its only getting stronger, the love I feel for you, its no mystery
Ive got to find some way to tell you, though our world seems far apart
It just dont have to be
The time has come to testify, all the feelings Ive been holding back
Its time to set them free
Chorus:
Ive been watching you from the other side
Ive been wanting to hold you through the night
Ive got to find my way to the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever
The moment that I saw you
I knew inside my heart, all my dreams would come true
I know it took some time to realize
A love we cant deny, Ive got to see it through
Chorus
I want to be the one who loves you, now and forever
I want to take my place beside you
I want to be the one to hold you, now and forever
I will meet you there on the other side
(instrumental break)
Chorus repeats 2x
From the other side, from the other side
I want to hold you tonight and forever

Altamont, now, wont be the same
When we see each other again
If it all falls apart, who is to blame?
Dont you think its time to get real?
I want to scream out the way I feel
Im so tired of watching you bail..
Chorus
Hey, dont try to tell me its okay
Dont turn me off and walk away
Youve gotta say its straight
Close the door,
But it wont go away
Tell me that its at your control
Im not waiting for you anymore

Believe it or not Im on your side
Its so hard to be your friend sometimes

Give It Away
Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick / amy grant
She asked him for forever
And a promise that would last
He said, babe, you know I love you
But I cant commit to that
She said love isnt love
til you give it away
A father lived in silence
Saw his son become a man
There was a distance felt between them
cause he could not understand
That love isnt love
til you give it away
You gotta give it away
Chorus:
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice
We can entertain compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesnt lead to anywhere
cause love isnt love
til you give it away
You gotta give it away
Chorus
Bridge:
Love is like a river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink from the water
And our thirst is no longer denied
You gotta give it away
Chorus
There was a man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
cause his love was his life
And he gave it away
You gotta give it away

The Winning Side
Its the winning side
And everybodys cheering for the winning side
And the children leave their homes to join the winning side
And when jesus comes hell march on with the winning side
And weve got all the right answers on the winning side
And the guiding light
Whether wrong or right
And we have no fear
No we have no fear
Waiting for the sign
We will give our lives
We will give our lives
And I feel so isolated
Its so lonely here at night
I could almost feel you near me
I imagine that youre with me
On the winning side
We dont ask too many questions on the winning side
And Ive got this strange sensation on the winning side
I dont recognize the faces of the winning side
And we all live here in cages . . .
Someone cried last night
And it made a sound
With my eyes closed tight
I hear everything
I can hear your voice
When I kiss the ground
When I kiss the ground
And Id like to know you better
And Id like to know your name
I could really show you something
If you give me half a chance
cuz Im on the winning side
(winning side)
In the sleepless night
When the blindness comes
Washing over me
Like a giant wave
On a sandless beach
Washing over me
I am proud to be . . .
And Id like to take you somewhere
That youve never been before
And I feel so isolated
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
(and I feel so all alone)

I Love It When You Smile
Chorus
I love it when you smile
When you're with me honey
It happens all the while
How it kills me when you cry
And you know my heart
That's no word of a lie
Verse One
Everyday you show me something new about you
Honestly I could never live without you
Look at me here's a soul who'll never doubt you
And I will be forever by your side
Repeat Chorus
Verse Two
Probably the greatest feeling I have ever known
Actually is when you wrap yourself around me
Promise me you'll stay now that I've found you
And I will be forever by your side
Repeat Chorus
Verse Three
And you could say you've heard it all before
And I know that anyday you may walk out the door
When I say no one will love you more believe me
And I will be forever by your side

Back Where You Belong
Ooh Ive been down there a million times
If Ive been down before
Never thought Id hurt so bad
To see you play the fool
Never mountain high enough
I said and I watched you climb
Till the day I saw you walk out of your life and mine
So Im gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what youve doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
Standing in the shadows
Watch your never-ending flight
Just how high as high to be before you see the light
Will this be the change you need to show you who you are
I love you but Ill leave you just to prove youve gone too far
Soon Im gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what youve doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
Cant you see youre losing me using me
Back where you belong
Heaven knows I love you will this make you see
Back where you belong
So Im gonna leave you just because I want you
Back where you belong
Gonna make you see just what youve doing to me
Back where you belong
Be home right by my side is where you want to be
Back where you belong
Dont you understand my feelings and
Set me free
Dont you realize it...

On The Lonely Side Of Town
On the lonely side of town
When no one else is around
Her brown eyes cry those tears
Over her loves from the past years
Her heart is breaking without a sound
On the lonely side of town
She feels just like a clown
With tears pouring from her eyes
With no rhymn or reason why
But life has turned her upside down
On the lonely side of town
Her head is hanging down
Shaking from side to side
With not much left of her pride
There on that lonely side of town
On the lonely side of town
She is lost behind her frown
But in ways she may never know
Her love fine it's way to show
And by her love she is bound
On the lonely side of town
You can hear the old train sound
Reminding her of those days
When life glowed with brighter rays
Even on that lonely side of town
On the lonely side of town
She is loved by leaps and bounds
Even though she may not see
Love'S the only thing that's free
And it creaps up on her without a sound

Walk Away
There's a river of tears i need to cry
Been holding back for years
There's a mountain so high i need to climb
To wipe away the fears
Solitude and loneliness have been a friend of mine
As i'm turning my back on emptiness
I leave them all behind
Who knows just where i'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
[Chorus:]
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away
I could never forget how hard I tried
When we were oh so young
Just one tender moment I cannot find
Maybe I had none
Strength will be by my side
Although I feel afraid
But I know it's too late for this goodbye
There's nothing left to say
Who knows just where I'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
[Chorus]
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away this time
One day you'll realise
That the tears you saw in my eyes
Won't be there forever
[Chorus to fade]

Anymore
I believe in roses,
But only from the heart
And if its not sincere baby,
Then I dont want no part
I believe in one love baby, true monogamy
What I dont know cant hurt me, thats not the way I see
If you believed in me, you wouldnt mess around
Its not like I dont know you been with every girl in town
You got a lot of nerve to think, I just close my eyes
While you walk around so full of it, I give you my surprise
I dont need your kinda love
I dont need your kinda trust
I dont want you, anymore
I dont need your kinda kisses
I dont want to be your mrs.
I dont want you, anymore
I believe that angels watch everything we do
And all the wrong your doin, just might come back on you
I believe in phone calls, when your not by my side
Especially when its lonely, in the middle of the night
If you believe that true love is only made in bed
Lord have mercy on you, chivalry is dead
You got a lot of nerve to think, to think that Im still down
While youve taken me for granted, boy Im thru, Im outta town
(chorus)
So baby,(so baby)
You can kiss this girl goodbye
Im through with ya
Movinon with my life
No more pain, no more fears
Im movin on
Im keepin on
Im through with all the fears
Your kinda love
Your kinda trust
I dont want you, dont need you,
Cant have you
Your kinda kisses
To be your mrs.
I dont want you

Maurice white, wayne vaughn & wanda vaughn
One year ago, love was touch and go
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My hearts sings in the night
My love I bring to you
With this lovin I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, were dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
Tonight
I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took ma a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams can come true
So I bring my heart to you
With this lovin I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, were dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down , get down, get down,
Tonight
We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today, for
