Mark Erelli
The Only Way

(Mark Erelli)

I read the paper
I watch the news
It seems there's only pain and sufferin'
And there ain't much I can do
It's so senseless
I feel defenseless
So small

I could shut my windows
Bolt my doors
But if I don't feel safe enough
To speak my mind anymore
Then what's the use
I've nothing left to lose
And no farther to fall

(CHORUS)
So I'm gonna love
I'm gonna believe
I'm still gonna dream
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
Give everything until I've nothing left to give
That's the only way that I know how to live

It was a nightmare
No tongue can tell
The streets of New York city
Looked just like the gates of Hell
In a flash
The smoke and the ash
Falling down like rain

But they circled wagons
They gathered round
As they bravely pulled their brothers
And their sisters from the ground
And I know
I owe them more
Than to be afraid

(CHORUS)

Why seek vengeance?
What comes of war?
I know freedom has a price
But it doesn't keep score
It's too much to swallow
It's left me hollow
After all this time

I won't tell you
What to believe
Cause I'm too young to be so cynical
And too old to be naïve
Every action
Breeds a reaction
So let this be mine


Mirror lyrics:

So let this be mine
Breeds a reaction
Every action
And too old to be naïve
Cause I'm too young to be so cynical
What to believe
I won't tell you

After all this time
It's left me hollow
It's too much to swallow
But it doesn't keep score
I know freedom has a price
What comes of war?
Why seek vengeance?

(CHORUS)

Than to be afraid
I owe them more
And I know
And their sisters from the ground
As they bravely pulled their brothers
They gathered round
But they circled wagons

Falling down like rain
The smoke and the ash
In a flash
Looked just like the gates of Hell
The streets of New York city
No tongue can tell
It was a nightmare

That's the only way that I know how to live
Give everything until I've nothing left to give
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
I'm still gonna dream
I'm gonna believe
So I'm gonna love
(CHORUS)

And no farther to fall
I've nothing left to lose
Then what's the use
To speak my mind anymore
But if I don't feel safe enough
Bolt my doors
I could shut my windows

So small
I feel defenseless
It's so senseless
And there ain't much I can do
It seems there's only pain and sufferin'
I watch the news
I read the paper
