It's this way to there
no I won't let you down
it's this way to there
yes you've been released
well it's this way to there
say can you hear the sound
I hear it all around
it's this way to there

and it's this way to there
ain't talkin' bout' Hollywood
ain't talkin' bout' Washington
there's just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your songs to it
your heart is a drum
hold it high in the air
cuz' it's this way to there

it's this way to love
for those who ain't had enough
it's this way to love
if you show me you care
well it's this way to love
calling all vagabonds
busted and broken
and damaged like you

and it's this way to there
ain't talkin' bout' no cluster bombs
no stolen elections
no crooked Enrons
there's just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your songs to it
your heart is a drum
hold it high in the air
cuz' it's this way to there

I was a liar
I was a thief
he was a fool
she was a cheat
and who is the killer
can't sleep from the fear
and sometimes it seems
like we're just one big tear

it's this way to there
it's this way to get it done
it's this way to there
so lay down your guns
well it's this way to there
it's this way to overcome
it's this way to go
where you would if you could

and it's this way to there
ain't talkin' bout Babylon
there ain't no Pentagon
no Cheney or Bush
no Rumsfield or Powell
there's no Bin Laden
there ain't no Saddam
or his weapons of mass destruction
if only we could find them

there's just a common bond
it runs thru everyone
and if you hold on to it
sing your song to it
and when you're feeling low
and when you're all alone
your heart is a poem
say it soft as a prayer
cuz' it's this way to there
this way to there
this way to there
