ON THE OTHER SIDE
(A Message to would be mass shooters)

Words and Music by Jack McCoy

Verse 1(Spoken)
Don’t let life steal your humanity
If you’re hurt struggling with your sanity
Reach out to others, I know how hard it can be
On The Other Side

Verse 2 (Spoken)

If you think there is no truth
So it doesn’t matter what you do
There’ll be a surprise waitin’ for you
On The Other Side

Chorus (WithMusic)

‘Cause no matter if you act alone
Or you’re part of a murderous clan
You don’t get kill unarmed people
And still call yourself a man
And despite all your efforts
United we all stand
When things are at their worst
That’s when we’re at our best
Something you just don’t understand

Verse 3 (Spoken)

So if you’re thinkin’ about killin’
For a misguided cause, or you find it thrillin’
You’re gonna find it a might chillin’
On The Other Side

Verse 4 (Spoken)

There’ll be no virgins waitin’
No fame or glory for the takin’
You’ll be judged by all you’ve takin’
On The Other Side

Chorus (With Music)

‘Cause no matter if you act alone
Or you’re part of a murderous clan
You don’t get kill unarmed people
And still call yourself a man
And despite all your efforts
United we all stand
When things are at their worst
That’s when we’re at our best
Something you just don’t understand

Verse 5 (Spoken)

We’re all Soul equal in God’s eyes
Made in his image Children of Light
“Sorry I didn’t know”, doesn’t fly
On The Other Side

Verse 6 (Spoken)

So don’t let life steal your humanity
If you’re hurt struggling with your sanity
Reach out to others, I know how hard it can be
On The Other Side

Sing the HU, ‘Cause I know how hard it can be
On The Other Side
