Lyrics
On the 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.
Driftin' along with the wind, telling yourself you can't win
It's over and now we begin, oh yeah we are on the way
Light shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't cease
Yeah now we are finally released, oh yeah we're on the way.
I used to think that I was doin' all right, but now I know that I was just hanging on
I used to wake up in the dead of night, and see the road that I was travellin' on.
Only one woman one man, just doing the best that we can
There's so much we don't understand, oh yeah but we're on the way
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I used to think that I was doin' all right, but now I know that I was just hanging on
I used to wake up in the dead of night, and see the road that I was travellin' on.
Only one woman one man, just doing the best that we can
There's so much we don't understand, oh yeah but we're on the way
Light shining down from the east, bringing a love that won't cease
Yeah now we are finally released, oh yeah we're on the way.
(fade)
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
