Waiting on the Other Side

(Melanie Thompson)

The other side is what? Heaven? Hell? Neither? Are all the sins we commit forgiven? I think so. I hope so. This is what the other side looks like to me. You may end up in a beautiful place (Heaven), but you will spend eternity in that beautiful place correcting all the wrong you did as a human being (Hell). So, for me, the other side is both. The more wrongs we right now, in human form, the less time we spend on the other side doing it.

Verse 1. There's a preacher 
 asking for forgiveness. 
 Sorting out the verses. 
 All the words he twisted. 
 There are clear blue skies 
 waiting on the other side. 

 There's a mother 
 kissing little baby. 
 Healing all the deep cuts. 
 All the ones she gave him. 
 There's a gentle breeze 
 waiting on the other side. 

 There's a dealer 
 bleeding out the poisoned. 
 Wishing he could buy back 
 all the filth he sold them. 
 There is higher ground 
 waiting on the other side.

 There's a soldier 
 standing in a wheat field 
 shaking every hand 
 of every man he did kill. 
 There's a flowing stream 
 waiting on the other side. 

Verse 2. There's a bad cop 
 giving a confession. 
 All the wrong she has done. 
 Turning in her weapon. 
 There are glassy lakes
 waiting on the other side.

 There's a rich man 
 burning all his money. 
 Dancing in the ashes. 
 Crying 'cause it's funny.
 There are rolling hills
 waiting on the other side.

 There's a sad man 
 sewing cloth and leather. 
 Pieces he had ripped off.
 Sew them back together.
 There are rainbows bright
 waiting on the other side.

 There's a grandma
 kneeling in her nightgown
 fishing out the kittens.
 All the ones that she drowned.
 There are shady trees
 waiting on the other side.

Chorus. The other side 
 it waits for us.
 Like a subway train
 or a crowded bus.
 Sure to get there soon.
 From dust to dust.

 Meet you on the other side. 
 My friend. 
 See you on the other side. 
 Til then. 
 Waiting on the other side. 
 The end.

Metaphor

By Melanie Thompson

When you've been with someone for years, seeming to have had a real love connection and then break up, it's hard to grasp. Let alone explain to someone else what happened. Lyrics often use metaphors to describe break-ups. This is how I use a metaphor to describe mine.

A Taste of Country

By Melanie Thompson

Before I say a word or two about these lyrics, I would like to confess that I wrote them while I was hungry. Had I eaten a chicken salad sandwich, bag of chips and a sugar cookie before sitting down to write these lyrics, these lyrics may never have been written. I will also caution you to eat before reading them. Anyway, I was born in the country and raised by country folk. This song is a tip of my hat to all the country folk around the globe. Those folks who help feed the rest of us. And how blessed we are to have food. Oh Snap! I'm hungry again. Enjoy.

The Art of Dispute

By Melanie Thompson

All couples fight. That is a given. And I think we should fight. We should be able to express ourselves to the ones we love or to strangers. It is something that we should not avoid. Clear the air sometimes and you breath better. However, I think that when we do fight or argue we should do it in a manner that doesn't lead to hatred or violence. Make it a fair fight. Fair fights are permitted. Take the art of boxing for example. I love watching a good boxing match. And when I wrote this song I thought about boxing and all the rules that apply to that sport. If you are in a relationship learn to adjust. Learn to respect the one you love. Make some rules about how to argue your issues. And then follow them. Learn the art of dispute.

Hello Banjo

By Melanie Thompson

We country folk love us some bluegrass music. And the major player in bluegrass music is the banjo. My grandfather played the banjo. And my mama told me that she loved to listen to him play. She said he was very good. Unfortunately, my grandfather died before I was born. So, I never had the honor of meeting him or of listening to him play his banjo. I wrote this song with three things in mind: the banjo, the south (where I grew up), and my grandfather. This song is dedicated to him and to all admirers of country music and lovers of bluegrass. To Grandpa Allen. Hope to see you in heaven.

Another empty night

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about having a relationship with a prostitute. I could say that in my life I've had a couple of those, and thought that they could turn into something, like love. But I was definitely under the influence of substances, and my mind was not thinking clearly. Even if there was a prostitute next to me in my bed, I knew it was going to be another empty night. These things never last, and really they're just wrong. I know my morals would not allow that today. I know that if I wasn't using drugs and alcohol, I would never have engaged in that type of behavior. Every man does have his needs, but it's okay to wait until you find the right one.
