On The Dark Side Of The World, Everything Is Different

In the distance of the murky path all is grey,
but it doesn’t have to be this gruesome way,
Because on the other side of the world all is gay.
But here the black birds screech and crow and cry,
As the beautiful doves fly and glide by.
In the darkest swap desert dry,
but on the misty winds of the ocean high,
sits the shimmering sun from the ocean sky.
So the dark side of the world is different as you can see,
but there’s one more question you need to hear from me,
Which side do you belong on?
