TITLE: On the Other Shore
Lyrics and Chords

As we reach the twilight hours of our fleeting earthly time
And know we will not see the sun tomorrow
We may think with deep regret of all the things we leave behind
But oh, my friends, do not give in to sorrow

   On the other shore, on the other shore
   We will reunite with all the things we ever owned before
   Our single socks will all be to their rightful pairs restored
   We'll meet all our possessions on the other shore

As we near those golden sidewalks floating on the clouds above
Assuming heaven is our destination
We may glance behind for one last look at everything we love
But truly there's no call for reservations

   On the other shore, on the other shore
   We'll have piles and piles of jeans we can't fit into anymore
   We'll wear all those crazy cowboy shirts we got from Fred Labour
   We'll meet all our possessions on the other shore

We'll find books we bought in college and sold for half-price unread
And sacks and sacks of earring backs lost under someone's bed
And baseball cards and army men and model planes galore
And every tiny plastic high-heel Barbie ever wore

   On the other shore, on the other shore
   We'll have giant storage units free of charge for evermore
   Where our tax receipts will all be saved in bags upon the floor
   We'll meet all our possessions

   On the other shore, on the other shore
   We'll find National Geographics from 1974
   Our children's art will cover God's refrigerator door
   We'll meet all our possessions on the other shore
