The Other Side
Maria Daines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world is upside down
Now there's only one another
And all the good times been around
Oh help us reach the other side
There's kind hands waiting
I know, I know
And here we are, nowhere to go
Help us know that this shall pass
Prayers in hearts too lost for words
Time has borrowed all we have
Now the quiet voices must be heard
Help us through the darkest night
When the light becomes a storm
Hold our hands and make it right
Keep the shadows from the door
Keep the dream on the horizon
Keep the angels by our side
When all we hear is sorrow's siren
In truth and love we can abide
Help us through the darkest night
When the light becomes a storm
Hold our hands and make it right
Keep the shadows from the door
Overcome we shall, we must
When every day, oh it's harder still
A force unseen our faith, our trust
To be human, we can, we will
Help us through this time of trouble
When the world is upside down
Now there's only one another
And all the good times been around

In Maria Daines's song The Other Side, she offers a heartfelt plea for help during difficult times. The world is turned upside down, and there seems to be no easy path forward. The lyrics speak of a need for comfort and reassurance, for someone to hold their hand and guide them through the storm.
Daines asks for help to reach "the other side," where kind hands are waiting to help. She acknowledges that the journey will not be easy, that there will be tears and sadness along the way. Yet, she urges her listeners to have faith in themselves and others, to keep the dream alive and to hold the angels by their side.
The lyrics stress the importance of community and love during trying times. It is through the quiet voices, prayers, and human connection that we can overcome adversity. Daines's words remind us that we are not alone, and that even in the darkest of nights, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Help us through this time of trouble
Assist us in getting past this difficult time
When the world is upside down
When everything is on its head
Now there's only one another
We only have each other
And all the good times been around
We've already experienced the good times
Oh help us reach the other side
Assist us in overcoming this obstacle
There's kind hands waiting
There are kind people who are willing to help us
I know, I know
I am aware of this fact
When all the saddest tears are cried
When we've shed all the sad tears we can
And here we are, nowhere to go
We are stuck and unsure of where to turn
Help us know that this shall pass
Assure us that this will not last forever
Prayers in hearts too lost for words
We are struggling to express our prayers
Time has borrowed all we have
Time has taken away everything we had
Now the quiet voices must be heard
We need to listen to the less obvious voices
When the light becomes a storm
When our refuge becomes a danger
Hold our hands and make it right
Help us through and fix the problem
Keep the shadows from the door
Prevent the darkness from taking over
Keep the dream on the horizon
Don't lose sight of our goals
Keep the angels by our side
Have faith and trust in the higher power
When all we hear is sorrow's siren
When sorrow is the only thing we can hear
In truth and love we can abide
We can get through this with honesty and love
Overcome we shall, we must
We will overcome this, we have no choice
When every day, oh it's harder still
When each day is a greater challenge than the last
A force unseen our faith, our trust
We must have faith and trust in an unseen force
To be human, we can, we will
We are capable of overcoming as humans
