lyrics

That’s the Way of the World

It’s the longest line that runs between what was and what could be
It’s the longest road that takes me back to things I couldn’t see
It’s the longest time to wait ‘til I’m the one who won’t believe
That the happiness I left behind is right in front of me

CHORUS:
That’s the way of the world

It’s the shortest way to get to where I once belonged and knew
That the shortest time would pass me by ‘til all my dreaming grew
Seems the whole world changed and so did I/had nothing left to lose
Feel the ground that’s shaking as the wheels are turning
I’m swinging and singing the blues
