The Way - Zack Hemsey

Did you think that i'd disappear? Did you think that i'd wash away? Did you think that i'd last this long? Did you think that i'd get this strong? Everytime they try to make me change They just wear me down with more chains And it feels like That you with me or against me And it feels like That your promises are all a mess And it feels like That to push me is to shove me And it feels like That the only way is the wrong way Did you think that i'd could be your cruch? Did you think that life could mean so much? Did you think that this could end in bust? Did you think that it's just plain old lust? And everytime they try to make me change They just wear me down with more chains And it feels like That you with me or against me And it feels like That your promises are all a mess And it feels like That to push me is to shove me And it feels like That the only way is the wrong way Everytime they try to make me change They just wear me down with more chains And it feels like That you with me or against me And it feels like That your promises are all a mess And it feels like That to push me is to shove me And it feels like That the only way is the wrong way And it feels like That the only way is the wrong way And it feels like That the only way is the wrong way (You always push me down) The only way is the wrong way (You always push me down) The only way is the wrong way

Follow me to my favorite tree Well I'm offering a steady hand I could be your security But there's no guarantee on anything And I'll take care of you along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind And you'll take care of me along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind Here with you in our treetop view Well it takes me to when I was young I fell before but I can't ignore That it's nothing like I'm falling now No it's nothing like I'm falling now And I'll take care of you along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind And you'll take care of me along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah And I'll take care of you along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind And you'll take care of me along the way My love one day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time One day at a time we'll leave Our troubles behind

I'm in the wrong place At the wrong time Once again I'm falling apart Cannot escape you now You were my light I'm out of caution Too far gone to give you my love Leaning against you Leaning against you Take my love on a run Can't get enough Baby I'm too far gone I'm in love with the way you sway around Whenever you open up your mouth It's always perfect The things that I'm learning Would be enough for the rest of my life And I'm never closing my eyes Never wanna blink again Cause I could miss you doing Something I can not imagine when I'm next to you Won't you come hold me Cause I'm getting lonely When you're not around Baby I'm too far gone I'm in love with the way you sway around Whenever you open up your mouth It's always perfect The things that I'm learning Would be enough for the rest of my life

I used to hear them say of bad news, when it rains then it pours Fitting for a generation yearning out for more A story of the ancients etched in relics from before Faded echoes that survive this vicious cycle that we mourn No telling how much pain a people can ignore How much heartache can communities endure? How much of the problem is systemic and ensured? How much profit over people can executives procure? Tension on my conscience, feel it wrenching at the core The walls are closing in, I need an exit to explore When precious opportunity comes knocking at the door Will you dive into the waters or keep standing at the shore? Long lost but I have found The bright of day, the here and now The ways of old are out of view Before I go, I'm waiting for you This is child's play indeed Realization of wants, hopes, and dreams Good intentions tangled with vines, thorns, and weeds Racing through a thicket that blinds, rakes, bleeds Anxious in our slumber, we moan, beg, and plead The cart's before the horse but the eyes don't perceive Monster in the flesh that the mind won't believe And few among us left with the courage to come clean I know the sigh of subsisting without the means Aim that's off the mark when you drifted by mere degrees The hunt for explanations and answers we all need I've come to find the truth is much stranger than what it seems Long lost but I have found The bright of day, the here and now The ways of old are out of view Before I go, I'm waiting for you Lost but not forgotten In our struggle no stopping until it's found Till dawn has cleared the haze and the bright of the day surrounds No death before dishonor, no reason for guilt to shroud No need to check the records, my signature's in the sound To capture that potential one seizes the pain Conquers the doubt and remains up though the weight of it hangs down You're thinking on the stage but you're standing inside the crowd Leap off the precipice of change for the moment that's right now
