On the Other Side (Live) Janis Ian

[Intro]
One of the cool things about being a songwriter is that sometimes you finish a song and you look at it and you think, "Wow. That's a pretty good song. I wonder why I wrote it." And what I’ve found over the years is water seeks its own level. Sooner or later, something will happen in my life or in the life of the world around me, and, uh, I'll look at the same song with new eyes and go, "Ah. That's why I wrote it."

[Verse 1]
They say there was a fire on the night I died
All I am is gone
Still the soul holds on
They tell me I’m a hеro on the other side
Oh, but all that I rеmember
Is the children were in danger

[Chorus]
On the other side
Children laugh and sing
On the other side
The angels earn their wings
On the other side
On the other side

[Verse 2]
Tell me you were with me
When the building fell
Strange to have you near
After all these years
They say I couldn't possibly
Have done it by myself
Did you see our photographs
As they crumbled into ash?
