I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side
If I cross before you on that oceanic ride
On to a new land, an unknown destiny
On to a place where we'll be free

I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side
I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side

Farewell to my homeland and the world I've loved so long
Brother and sister shed no tears our love is strong
Father and Mother try to tell me not to go
Stay with the faces that you know

I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side
I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side

You don't have to change your life
You don't have to change anything
All you need is a different attitude

How can I simply say I don't see what I see
Times getting harder and there's no room for me
Something worth having is something worth fighting for
I say to the disappearing shore

I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side
I'll be waiting for you when you get to the other side
