La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don’t think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side

There was a time I felt like you, did not know what to do
Don’t worry now you’ll be alright, you’re alright, I see, see

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don’t think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side

Oh, I know how you feel, if you really do
Don’t worry now you’ll be alright, hold on tight, you’ll see, see

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don’t think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side-On The Other Side

La, la, see the morning sunshine, shine, shine on the mountain side
Don’t think the grass is always greener, On The Other Side
On The Other Side…
