A WAY TO BE (Joey Molland)
[from This Way Up CD - recorded 1998-2000 - released U.S. 2001]

Once again, my friend, we start the search
Off and running 'round the universe
No escaping now, we made the date
No use crying as we take the bait

Time goes flying, you can hear it pass
Keep on trying, gotta make it fast
Held together by the winds of change
Here's forever coming down the range

But it's a way to be
And if our hearts are free
Maybe our minds can be
Maybe our eyes can see the way

There'll be sadness in our history
Free's the last thing we wanna be
Held together in security
Here's to you, babe, here's to me

And it's a way to be
And if our hearts are free
Maybe our minds can be
Maybe our eyes can see the way

[guitar solo]

Once again, my friend, we're near the end
Feel it coming but I don't know when
No use crying over rainy days
No use praying to a lump of clay

But it's a way to be
And if our hearts are free
Maybe our minds can be
Maybe our eyes can see the way

And it's a way to be
And if our hearts are free
Maybe our minds can be
Maybe our eyes can see the way

And it's a way to be
And if our hearts are free
Maybe our minds can be
Maybe our eyes can see the way
