No Other Way

NO OTHER WAY

OCTOBER 2017

GIVE ME MORE TIME TO GET THIS RIGHT

MAYBE IF I LOOK AT IT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT 

I'LL BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR WAY OF THINKING

WE DON'T NEED THIS SINKING

WHEN IT'S BARELY BEGUN

I CAN STILL SMELL THE SMOKE, FROM THE STARTING GUN 

I'M GONNA HAVE MY WAY YOU'LL SEE 

NOTHING ELSE IS GONNA GET PAST ME

TO GET TO YOU

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THROUGH THIS

MOST OF THIS WAS THRUST ON ME

I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT

BUT IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE

WOULD YOU REALLY GIVE UP THAT EASY

WHEN I'M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE

THE ONE I PROMISED YOU

MAYBE I'M STILL PAYING MY DUES

WALKING AROUND BENEATH A BLACK CLOUD

BUT I CAN SEE IT COMING

A CLEAR SUNNY SKY

I TOLD YOU WE COULD DO THIS

ALL WE GOTTA DO IS TRY

AS LONG AS YOUR HEARTS IN IT

WE'LL BE JUST FINE

WE'LL CROSS THE LINE TOGETHER 

IT DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY

I'VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT

SO WHAT YOUR FAITH IS A LITTLE SHAKEN

IF YOU THINK I'VE GIVEN UP YOU'RE MISTAKEN

I'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL MY LIFE

IF IT STOPPED NOW,  I'D THINK SOMETHING WAS WRONG

ANYTHING WORTHWHILE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR

ANYTHING WORTHWHILE TAKES TIME

JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE, WAIT FOR ME

STEADY ME BEFORE I GO

TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO HEAR

JUST TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

BEFORE I GO

TAKE THE FIGHT BACK TO THEM

FIGHT UNTIL IT'S WON

TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW ME BETTER 

THEN YOU'LL KNOW THERE'S NO OTHER WAY

I'VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT

NOW I'M WORKING IT IN

TRYING TO GET IT ALL BACK AGAIN

I CAN SEE THE SUN, SUN RAYS SNEAKING IN

FILLING IN THE CRACKS WITH LIGHT

CHASING AWAY THE DARKNESS
