Lyrics
The Only Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People has stirred moved by the word
Kneel at the shrine, deceived by the wine
How was the earth conceived? Infinite space
Is there such a place? You must believe in the human race
Can you believe, God makes you breathe
Why did he lose six million jews
Touched by the wings, fears angel brings
Sad winter storm, grey autumn dawn
Who looks on life itself, who lights your way?
Only you can say. How can you just obey?
Don't heed the word, now that you've heard
Don't be afraid: Man is man made
And when the hour comes, don't turn the away
Face the light of day. And do it your away
It's the only way
