[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 hero on the other side
Oh, but all that I remember
Is the children were in danger
[Chorus]
On the other side
Children laugh and sing
On the other side
Angels earn their wings
On the other side
On the other side
[Verse 2]
They say that 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?
[Chorus]
On the other side
Children laugh and sing
On the other side
Angels earn their wings
On the other side
On the other side
[Bridge]
And I, who never could believe
Never saw the need
Wanted just to see your face again
Nothing to hold on to
Now I've found you
[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
On the other side
[Outro]
Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit
Sursum, Domini, sursum Domini
Ora pro nobis, in ora pro nobis pacem
Kyrie
In ora Kyrie eleison
Kyrie
