The Way It Had to Be

It might have been the maybe That crept inside my mind It might have been the echoes of my heart Sending shivers down my spine Soon you'll be pushin' daisies Then it'll be unclear And it's too late for all your might have beens And there's a reason you were here There you are Free and feeling so sublime you Light up the dark Like sparks in summertime So much has changed The past has brought you here Can't you see? It's the way it had to be Innocence and danger Made you feel so alone There you stood inside the wreckage of your dream Barely able to make it home There you are Free and feeling so sublime you Light up the dark Like sparks in summertime So much has changed And it's all part of how you got free It's the way it had to be Open my eyes There's a moment you can't know So far from here below Leave this behind And believe you've arrived You have arrived There you are Free and feeling so sublime you Light up the dark Like sparks in summertime So much has changed And it's all part of you getting free It's the way it had to be
