"Better Way" lyrics - SISTER HAZEL

When I was young, my father would say,
"Time bends its back for no one, my son
And the bright skies, they only fool the men who are blind
So, look through the smile and see what's behind."
Now you left, all my dreams drifted away
I would try to move past but my life's not the same

If I only knew then the things I know now
Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around

'Cause I have so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
I have so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
Must be a better way
Must be a better way

Now, here I sit, in a cage all my own
It's a new life, it's a brand new home
And it's made of steel, it's built out of fear
It's closed up to you and it's part of the deal

If I only knew then the things I know now
Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around

'Cause I have so much to say
More to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
'Cause I have so much to say
More to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
Must be a better way
Must be a better way

Turn back the clock
And put it all back
I'll make the time last

'Cause I've got so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
'Cause I have so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
Must be a better way
Must be a better way

I have so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
'Cause I have so much to say
And more to give today, yeah
This is no life to live, you gotta give
Must be a better way
Must be a better way
