The Way |
Nobody told me it would be good |
But I still wanted it to be |
Do your homework like you should |
Hoping something sets you free |
Whatll it be Afraid of ultimate decay |
Never stopping but to rust |
Eager to get it underway |
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you must |
And if you want to worship truth |
Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news |
Or a fairy tale I might sing to you |
But as you learn you will increase |
You will affect your own release |
A million ways to hear its voice |
And in the end youve got no choice |
You will finally feel aware |
Of what youre part of everywhere |
And theres an answer when you pray |
The way of things, there is a way |
The way of things, there is a way |
You tell me God is dead |
Well I say God always was |
Life and death, living and dying all at once |
Thats all it ever does |
Could be God is our idea |
And ideas never die |
Created in its image |
We seek its light from up on high, give it a try |
And if you want to worship truth |
Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news |
Or a fairy tale I might sing to you |
But as you learn you will increase |
You will affect your own release |
A million ways to hear its voice |
And in the end youve got no choice |
You will finally feel aware |
Of what youre part of everywhere |
And theres an answer when you pray |
The way of things, there is a way |
The way of things, there is a way |
I wanna try to play the way |
Like r2-d2 squeaks and beeps and tells me everything |
You know theres so much else to say |
That the only way to even try is to just to start your riffing |
Is it the chicken or the egg |
Its the very notion to even try to figure out which one came first |
I hate to see somebody beg |
The infinite eternal chase |
The quenching of the thirst |
And if you want to worship truth |
Be it medicine, meditation or God on the evening news |
Or a fairy tale I might sing to you |
But as you learn you will increase |
You will affect your own release |
A million ways to hear its voice |
And in the end youve got no choice |
You will finally feel aware |
Of what youre part of everywhere |
And theres an answer when you pray |
The way of things, there is a way |
The way of things, there is a way |
There is a way |
There is a way |
There is a way |
