SEE THE WAY

You're gonna be sad til you stop hurtin'
For the sake of findin' peace of mind
Rise up from there throw back the curtain
That covers your heart and makes you blind

See the way true love has left you
For a lie that you must feed
See the way true love has left you
For what you want but just don't need

You'll bind the wound 'til you stop bleedin'
For the love you gave but could not take
For a love that burns for a love that's leadin'
Straight to the heart that will never break

See the way true love has left you
Face to face with all mankind
See the way true love has led you
From place to place from time to time

You'll take your chances down random rivers
Bound for glories beyond the sea
You'll find some keepers and some forgivers
Deep in the heart of eternity

See the way true love's outguessed you
Sometimes with scandals sometimes with schemes
See the way true love has blessed you
Far beyond your wildest dreams...
