|
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, what'll 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 you've got no choice |
|
You will finally feel aware |
|
Of what you're part of everywhere |
|
And there's 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 |
|
That's 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 you've got no choice |
|
You will finally feel aware |
|
Of what you're part of everywhere |
|
And there's 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 there's 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 |
|
It's 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 you've got no choice |
|
You will finally feel aware |
|
Of what you're part of everywhere |
|
And there's 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 |
