THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
I HEARD GRANDADDY SAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG
HE WORKED THE FIELDS FOR 40 YEARS
WITH NOTHING MUCH TO SHOW FOR WHAT HE'D DONE
(HE PUT) HALF HIS LIFE INTO THAT DIRT
THAT SLOWLY AGED HIM WAY BEYOND HIS DAYS
(THOUGH IT) WAS TOO LATE FOR HIM HE STILL BELIEVED
THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY
(Chorus)
A BETTER WAY TO SPEND THE LIFE THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS MYSTERY
A PEACE OF MIND TO FIND THE ANSWERS YOU'VE BEEN SEEKING
IT'S THE STRUGGLE OF THE AGES TO BE FREE
I'LL BE CONTENT TILL I CAN FINALLY SAY I FOUND A BETTER WAY
I FINALLY FOUND A BETTER WAY
TO LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE MY LAST
I STAYED CONTENT TILL I COULD FINALLY SEE INSIDE
I HAD A BETTER WAY
