This, and not some other way Lyrics – Jesse Welles

[Verse 1]

Every wish, every desire

Every pain that’s in my heart

I blew them all away the day

I namasted myself apart

Sweating men with bulging eyes

Came in bearing lies to give

At first I was afraid to die

Now I’m scared that I might live

[Pre-Chorus]

Stay with me

Stay with me

[Chorus]

For the day is passed

And the evening’s come

Be my companion in the way

Accept the things you cannot

And things that you can change

[Post-Chorus]

It’ll be the way it is

This and not some other way

In the mornings when I wake up

I’m afraid that I might die

So I try and stay awake

And I keep a watchful eye

In the fog of war, we’ve burned alive

The saints along with sinners

I will be with you today in paradise

If I don’t come in for dinner

[Pre-Chorus]

Stay with me

Stay with me

[Chorus]

For the day is passed

And the evening’s come

Be my companion in the way

Accept the things you cannot

And things that you can change

[Post-Chorus]

It’ll be the way it is

This and not some other way

[Verse 3]

I watched no one fight for nothing

Against twenty godless fiends

You could fill a man with gold

And there’d still be room for greed

So I rent a mind and borrow words

For thoughts I cannot say

This’ll be the way it is

This and not some other way

This’ll be the way it is

This and not some other way
