The Other Side - Lucky Dube[00:00:00]

His name is jackson[00:00:47]

He lives in jamaica[00:00:51]

Every morning he comes down to the docks[00:00:54]

To watch the ships come and go[00:00:58]

He's been here too long[00:01:02]

Mental slavery has not touched him one bit[00:01:06]

He still knows his history he knows where he comes from[00:01:14]

That is why he believes the ocean can give him answers[00:01:22]

About the very very far home[00:01:30]

That he's never been to[00:01:34]

All his life he says[00:01:38]

I wish I was home[00:01:42]

I wish I was in Africa[00:01:46]

I wish I was home[00:01:49]

I wish I was in Africa[00:01:54]

I have seen his world[00:01:57]

I've seen the other world I have nothing to say[00:02:00]

I put my coat on my shoulders[00:02:05]

As I walked away I heard myself sing[00:02:09]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:02:14]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:02:22]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:02:29]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:02:38]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:02:45]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:02:53]

His name is themba[00:03:40]

He lives in soweto[00:03:44]

Every morning he goes to the airport[00:03:47]

To watch the planes come and go[00:03:51]

He has changed his African name to a western one[00:03:55]

Cause he doesn't know how it hurts to have a name[00:04:03]

You can't be proud of he hopes that one day[00:04:09]

One of these birds of the sky can take him away[00:04:15]

To a very very far land[00:04:23]

Running away from the very roots[00:04:27]

That so many black people in the world[00:04:31]

Are wanting to come back to[00:04:35]

A place they call home[00:04:39]

They wish they were home[00:04:43]

They wish they were in Africa[00:04:47]

They wish they were home[00:04:51]

They wish they were in Africa[00:04:55]

I live in his world I've seen the other world[00:04:59]

I got nothing to say[00:05:03]

I put my coat on my shoulders[00:05:06]

As I walked away I heard myself sing[00:05:10]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:05:15]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:05:23]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:05:30]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:05:38]

The grass is greener on the other side[00:05:46]

Till you get there and see it for yourself[00:05:54]
