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
