The other side
The minister stood to speak
At the funeral of his brother.
He spoke about all his time
From beginning to the other.
He then mentioned his name
His eyes then filled with tears,
As he mentioned from beginning
And added up those years.
This was the day of heartaches
Good bye we said with pride,
That we'll meet him once again
When we're on the other side.
