Tony Joe White - The Other Side download song

Song Lyrics

Young people gather on the square, singing we shall overcome
Trying to set their spirits free, before we reach the other side Other, and never know the reason why
far across the sea
Young people gather on the square, far across the sea, singing songs of freedom through the night
And forever changed his destiny, they say these are dangerous times White, they re just standing by until they reach the other side
Singing songs of freedom through the night, will we ever see the light Joe, who could know they would have to lay down their lives
And still the lines are drawn between colours of skin, and never know the reason why
homeless people shuffle alone in the dark

There was revolution in the air, singing we shall overcome
They say these are dangerous times, just a broken wing that never mends
And took away his dignity, and all along the border lines
singing songs of freedom through the night
trying to set their spirits free
they took their heavy load
Put him on some godforsaken land, young people gather on the square, with everything they own in a grocery cart
They say these are dangerous times, marching down the dusty roads, and never know the reason why

bad news across the land
Ain t nothing changed, now he floats in dreams where eagles fly
got to be on guard
Marching down the dusty roads, far across the sea, homeless people shuffle alone in the dark
They re just standing by until they reach the other side, marching down the dusty roads
And still the lines are drawn between colours of skin, they re just standing by until they reach the other side Tony, there was revolution in the air
and loking back through the years
Standing up for all they believe was right, singing songs of freedom through the night

and never know the reason why
and loking back through the years
Singing we shall overcome, singing we shall overcome, they knew that god was on their side
And never know the reason why, singing we shall overcome, far across the sea
And never know the reason why, they knew that god was on their side Joe, rumors of war
And still the lines are drawn between colours of skin, singing we shall overcome, just a broken wing that never mends
They shook the redman s hand, trying to set their spirits free Other, and loking back through the years
And all along the border lines, there was revolution in the air, they re just standing by until they reach the other side

Marching down the dusty roads, and all along the border lines
with everything they own in a grocery cart
and forever changed his destiny
And forever changed his destiny, and took away his dignity The, they took their heavy load
with discrimination on the run
Singing songs of freedom through the night, homeless people shuffle alone in the dark, who could know they would have to lay down their lives
They knew that god was on their side, standing up for all they believe was right, sinking in the stream of wasted lives
Put him on some godforsaken land, singing we shall overcome

They say these are dangerous times, you can feel the strain
Rumors of war, and all along the border lines, and still the lines are drawn between colours of skin
And all along the border lines, now he floats in dreams where eagles fly
