On the Other Side

They follow children of the millions who died.
They follow Africa and lost tribal pride.
They follow Lincoln whose hope for us all
Was being equal, standing up tall.

Now they're on the other side of laughter.
Now they're on the other side of tears.
Now they're on the other side forgiving
Those who took away the years.

They comfort rescuers who can't find a soul.
They comfort workers, whose buildings lie cold.
They comfort soldiers, who try to be bold.
They comfort mothers, whose memories they hold.

Chorus

As they point the way toward tomorrow,
As they reach within our long sorrow,
As we called their names, they left without shame,
Leaving love from each other to borrow.

Chorus

Now they're on the other side of darkness.
Now they're on the other side of night.
Now they're on the other side, they're bringing
Us a way to find the light.
