The Only Way

I woke to greet the morning sun
The day had just begun
A silence that the rain came to end
The wind arose and played his song
And by the time the light had gone
I had all but lost my dearest friend

I have this dream I wake up in
The lights have given in
She is hurt and calling out my name
And now I hear the golden words
My father from my mother learned
In life you're never sure of anything

The only way to know
Find it in the moment that you learn to let it go
The only way to see
Find it in the ones that have never come to be

I still choose to carry on
Without light and on my own
But I still choose to carry on

The mission has been carried out
There's nothing left to doubt
I guess I'm not the man I thought I was
And now with little subtlety
My pride has given up on me
And I've forgotten all that I'd recalled

Day has broken into night
And friends have taken sides
Ooh, and the waiting game is on
Maybe it's a day or two
Or maybe my hair's grey and you
Have the life you wanted all along

The only way to know
Find it in the moment that you learn to let it go
The only way to see
Find it in the ones that have never come to be

I still choose to carry on
Without light and on my own
But I still choose to carry on

I still choose to carry on
Without light and on my own
But I still choose to carry on
