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
