The Other Side Video (MV)

I was a child once
The fear of the world in my eyes
Far from the safety of the other side
I colored by numbers
Learned how to tie my own shoes
Like all the others I was just
Prayed I'd make it through
Prayed I would make it through

Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side

I'll always remember
The kids and how'd mean they'd been
Eleven years old and I could, could not fit in
But I made it through high school
And college according to plan
The pressure was never greater to become a man
Would I become a man?

Oh mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out
But understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side

Mother look how your boy turned out
Three hundred miles from that small town
Dad it hurt to watch you walking out
Hear the piano do the crying no

For all the preachers and the teachers, now
For all the ones who never let me down
I'm so satisfied, so full of pride
Standing here on, on the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side
Thank you here from, from the other side

Here on, on the other side I'm taking my time
There's nothing to fear
There's nothing to worry about
On the other side
I remember when I thought I'd never find
The other side
