Another Way

How would you know if what you're needing Isn't something you're not seeing? What if you lost the chance to be what you could be How would you know that something better Wasn't waiting for bad weather To soak its seeds, to give you everything you need? We have a habit of thinking we know The way it goes, then it goes another way I know the latter is not a laughing matter But it seems we'd be crazy not to think That maybe this could be Exactly what should be How would you know if someone wiser Wasn't forging in these fires? What if you'd washed away what could've set you free? How would you know if you've mistaken When your heart is bruised and aching For a bad thing when all you needed was to bleed? We have a habit of thinking we know The way it goes, then it goes another way I know the latter is not a laughing matter But it seems we'd be crazy not to think That maybe this could be Exactly what should be What if we choose that we'll let go of All the things we've no control of? What if we learn to love whatever comes to be? We have a habit of thinking we know The way it goes, then it goes another way I know the latter is not a laughing matter But it seems we'd be crazy not to think That maybe this could be Exactly what should be
