Better 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.
Everybody wants, not everybody needs
Everybody hurts, not everybody bleeds
Everybody has words, sometimes is just talk
Everybody tries, not everybody walks
You gotta redefine your mind
You gotta redefine your mind
I believe that there's a better way
Something's out of place
Something's out of place
Yes, I believe that there's a better way
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
So many things that are running around in you
So many things pulling and tugging you from what is true
Fight, give, stand, and live for love
Fight, give, stand for love, love
Redefine your mind
I believe that there's a better way
Something's out of place
Something's out of place
Yes, I believe that there's a better way
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Man, these things they just ain't fitting
Like pretty politician
Hoping he can fix what's missing
By taking out the competition
They like to yell and such
I like the softer touch
All they do is talk so much
When all we need is change
Not monetarily
The end of the world is approaching scarily
Well, not to be personally
But to a friend, I mind this terribly
Caught off guard
When he realized that our love is hard
Then he realized that day to day
He could find a better way
(Sing it)
There's got to be a better way, you see
How bout the way it's supposed to be
A better way, you see (a better way)
How bout the way it's supposed to be
(Everybody now)
I believe that there's a better way
Something's out of place
Something's out of place
Yes, I believe that there's a better way
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Something's gotta change
Yes, I believe that there's a better way
