From the other side of life, from this height and in this light
I marvel at the length of your life and all your strength
All the battles you have won and the things you have done
All the joy that’s come to you, all the beauty that’s in you

Don’t waste it, don’t just taste it, don’t store it, go for it
Always more to come, you’ll always be the one
From the other side, I’m always on your side

From the other side of life, I have watched the sacrifice
As you lost and found your path, as you cried and as you laughed
From the other side of this, I would never have missed
All the things that you do, all the things that you’ve been through

Don’t hurry, don’t worry, yes, the choice is yours, yes, the world is yours
You’re worthy, you’re still early, all that’s mine is yours, yes, I’m always yours

From the other side of life, I forget what it was like
Was I hungry all the time till you came into my life?
But the edges have been smoothed and the corners made round
Of the wonders of this earth, only one did I gave birth

Do you remember I was dismembered?
I’m together now, light as a feather now
Now that life is done I can be the one
Always with you here, always with you, dear

So don’t stop asking them, whether foe or friend
To give you half a chance, that’s all you need to dance
Yes, I’ll see you through, but leave it up to you
I believe in you…my child
