《The Other Side》歌词

[00:00:00] The Other Side - Lucky Dube

[00:00:47] His name is jackson

[00:00:51] He lives in jamaica

[00:00:54] Every morning he comes down to the docks

[00:00:58] To watch the ships come and go

[00:01:02] He's been here too long

[00:01:06] Mental slavery has not touched him one bit

[00:01:14] He still knows his history he knows where he comes from

[00:01:22] That is why he believes the ocean can give him answers

[00:01:30] About the very very far home

[00:01:34] That he's never been to

[00:01:38] All his life he says

[00:01:42] I wish I was home

[00:01:46] I wish I was in Africa

[00:01:49] I wish I was home

[00:01:54] I wish I was in Africa

[00:01:57] I have seen his world

[00:02:00] I've seen the other world I have nothing to say

[00:02:05] I put my coat on my shoulders

[00:02:09] As I walked away I heard myself sing

[00:02:14] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:02:22] Till you get there and see it for yourself

[00:02:29] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:02:38] Till you get there and see it for yourself

[00:02:45] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:02:53] Till you get there and see it for yourself

[00:03:40] His name is themba

[00:03:44] He lives in soweto

[00:03:47] Every morning he goes to the airport

[00:03:51] To watch the planes come and go

[00:03:55] He has changed his African name to a western one

[00:04:03] Cause he doesn't know how it hurts to have a name

[00:04:09] You can't be proud of he hopes that one day

[00:04:15] One of these birds of the sky can take him away

[00:04:23] To a very very far land

[00:04:27] Running away from the very roots

[00:04:31] That so many black people in the world

[00:04:35] Are wanting to come back to

[00:04:39] A place they call home

[00:04:43] They wish they were home

[00:04:47] They wish they were in Africa

[00:04:51] They wish they were home

[00:04:55] They wish they were in Africa

[00:04:59] I live in his world I've seen the other world

[00:05:03] I got nothing to say

[00:05:06] I put my coat on my shoulders

[00:05:10] As I walked away I heard myself sing

[00:05:15] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:05:23] Till you get there and see it for yourself

[00:05:30] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:05:38] Till you get there and see it for yourself

[00:05:46] The grass is greener on the other side

[00:05:54] Till you get there and see it for yourself
