A Way Through

Verse 1

I ran out of names for myselfRan out of things to becomeRan out of mirrors to askIf I'd finally become someoneStill the morning cameStill the world wanted answersSo I got up

Verse 2

I learned to make a virtueOut of never standing stillPut a number on ambitionPut a target on the hillI prayed to productivityWorshipped at the screenSacrificed the presentTo the person I might be

Pre-Chorus

Another rungAnother roomAnother reason not to stopI made an altar out of achievementAnd wondered why it never answeredSo I shouted louderNothing

Chorus

Then underneath the trafficUnderneath the screensUnderneath the thousand voicesTelling me what everything meansSomething movedNot above meBelowAn ancient chorusRises from the earthAn invocationTo a higher powerNot an escapeA way through

Mantra

Hare KrishnaHare KrishnaKrishna KrishnaHare HareHare RamaHare RamaRama RamaHare Hare

Verse 3

I tried to think my way around itTried to bargain with the darkBuilt another layer of armourTried to reason with my heartI had opinions for the questionsHad explanations for the painKnew exactly why the storm cameStill got soaked in the rain

Bridge

So tell meWhat good is knowing every roadWhen you don't know where to standWhat good is holding everythingWhen you can't unclench your handsMaybe strength is not the fistMaybe faith is not the answerMaybe sometimes faithIs walkingWhen you cannot see the path

Chorus

And underneath the heartbeatUnderneath the hurtUnderneath the voice that saysYou have to prove what you are worthThere it is againOlder than my fearOlder than my nameAn ancient chorusRises from the earthAn invocationTo a higher powerNot a disappearing actNot an escapeA way through

Mantra

Hare KrishnaHare KrishnaKrishna KrishnaHare HareHare RamaHare RamaRama RamaHare Hare

Verse 4

I thought surrender meantThe battle had been lostMaybe surrender is knowingWhich battles were never mine

Pre-Chorus

The world is still hereThe fear is still hereThe road is still hereSo am II don't need another answerI need the courageTo walk through

Outro

Not an escapeA way throughNot an escapeA way throughNot an escapeA way throughAn ancient chorus rises from the earthHare KrishnaHare KrishnaKrishna KrishnaHare HareNo more runningNo more provingNo more askingWhat I'm worthIf I have to cross the fireHare KrishnaHare HareI will cross it with my hands openHare RamaHare RamaRama RamaHare HareNot an escapeA way through
