Analysis of Flip Side (read left to right then right to left.)
You are different,
And Time holds on;
Beleive to acheive,
Receive to life a romantic song.
Trials with loneliness,
Hope with change;
Glisten and smile,
You can rearrange.
Here ends it,
Concern and doubt;
Love is here,
Secure, to protect and help.
