In the end I thought you got What you were looking for But in this land of pile and sand Don't build much anymore I've got no words of wisdom for The hungry and the cold They know much more than me about The other side of the world I try to keep my balance That's some sense that I've got left So show me what to weigh against This soulless greed and theft You're at risk of losing value In the things you cannot hold What's it take to make you wake up to The other side of the world Day fades away and I just gaze into The hollow night The heart that beats the drum that keeps The time of failing light And when it's gone completely And darkness flag's unfurl I need someone to show me The other side of the world
