Take Me to the Other Side

Getting past fear is the primary theme here. “Take me to the other side, to a place where I can’t hide.” The anxiety around doing anything new, or something that seems daunting can be paralyzing. The song plays on the anxieties we often feel in difficult and new situations and says that the only way to be free is to join the tides of change to help us float through the difficulties and land on “the other side” where we are whole and free, and the authentic person.

Lyrics

In my imagination
I’ve traveled far beyond my fears
The vision needs no explanation
shimmers brightly through my tears

In the minds eye of creation
I am whole and I am free
But in the throws of vacillation 
I struggle to be me

Take me to the other side
To a place where I can’t hide
To a time where I can be the change I see
Rock the boat of destiny
And I am free

Looking past the desperation
Deep inside my heart
I find there’s fewer complications
There to take apart

Rugged waters ebbing faster
The channel calmly guiding me
Adrift no more so I can master
The life I want to see

Take me to the other side
To a place where I can’t hide
To a time where I can be the change I see
Rock the boat of destiny
And I am free

Help me cross the deep blue sea
Where the waves of doubt can wash right over me
Where the tides of change can take me on my way
Past the breakers in the bay
And I’m OK

Every time I fight the pain
I see it coming through the rain
and I find it close again
Take me to the other side

Help me cross the deep blue sea
Where the waves of doubt can wash right over me
Where the tides of change can take me on my way
Past the breakers in the bay
And I’m OK

Take me on my way
Past the breakers in the bay
And I’m OK
