Bryony Sier and Jon Greening - From Opposite Sides

I come from a place
With lack of opportunity
I've made some mistakes
Bad choices on the way
My realities not great
Imagination's running out
Can't distract me now

cnd I can't keep running from my past
It still remains, follows me around like its whole purpose is
To torture me from one day, then straight onto the next
But it's never too late for us to start again

Just like an artist paints a picture,
The writer tells the story
Through the eyes of the listener
Words can be powerful, can reach so many people
Describing every season of life
We're from opposite sides

Poverty is high
This town needs rescuing
Mum's mental health's declining
She is struggling
We have rent to pay
There are so many bills
I need to get a job cos we might lose all we've built.

cnd there's a boy who's in my class. We don't see eye to eye
clways Calls me the class viper cos I speak my mind
He is Wealthy and superior. We're from opposite sides
Now we have to work together, put our differences aside

Just like an artist paints a picture,
The writer tells the story
Through the eyes of the listener
Words can be powerful, can reach so many people
Describing every season of life
We're from opposite sides

Thought I only had one plan
One dream, one goal, one test
To pass my college course and make something of myself
But now I'm working at the farm, I've grown to love this place
Trinity's my home, and nothing ever could replace

My high school rival is my co-worker
How typical.
He's full of anger and frustration
Gets in lots of brawls
Known as the bad boy
Everybody wants a piece of him
But maybe I was wrong.
His tough-guy act's a mask he wears

Just like an artist paints a picture,
The writer tells the story
Through the eyes of the listener
Words can be powerful, can reach so many people
Describing every season of life
We're from opposite sides

Crowds of people are a blurry mass of colour and
I am just tailing after them
cnother person who doesn't belong, pretending that she does
Pretend just a girl riding a bike, searching for her next destination
Secrets are revealed
The Lies they are unveiled
The path is so unclear

Keeping people at a distance
Has always kept me safe
It's also been the loneliest route to ever take
I've finally made some friends
They accept me as I am
I've learned not to judge someone so harshly at first glance

cs the final chapter ends
I'm in a better place
cbout to live my dream
To do that I must move away
From my family and my friends
My whole life will change
Might be a fragment of their story,
Hope they won't forget me.

Just like an artist paints a picture,
The writer tells the story
Through the eyes of the listener
Words can be powerful, can reach so many people
Describing every season of life
We're from opposite sides
