Our Way

They say I'm a non-believer, all I know is what I've seen
I've seen some things that'll make a man get down and pray
We might be bruised but we're not broken
No surrender, mind's awoken
'Cause when everything goes wrong, we find a way

And I say
Hey, make it our way, make it our way 'til the river runs dry
We gon' make it our way, make it our way, make it our way

I'm just trying to find the silver in the lining
Just trying to keep on surviving
And trying to keep my composure as everything is declining
Lines drawn in the sand and everybody is divided
But living under pressure is bound to produce a diamond

We been rising with the heat so
We grow, flipping on that beast mode
Mind over matter is the metaphoric cheat code
And everywhere that we go, we walk around as equals
Amigo, who recognise we all one people
'Cause we 'gon make our way through it eventually
Mentally, change fundamentally, swap ego out for empathy
Third eye blind, open sesame presently
Fulfilling destiny and becoming who I was meant to be

They say I'm a non-believer
All I know is what I've seen
I've seen some things that'll make a man get down and pray
We might be bruised but we're not broken
No surrender, mind's awoken
'Cause when everything goes wrong, we find a way

And I say
Hey, make it our way, make it our way 'til the river runs dry
We gon' make it our way, make it our way, make it our way
And I say
Hey, make it our way, make it our way 'til the river runs dry
We gon' make it our way, make it our way, make it our way

Ever since somebody drew the lines that divided us into nations
Designed to give rights to the trials and tribulations
Difference in pigmentation
Religious affiliation
Political party biases, really were all the same
Beneath the surface
And nobody is perfect
Regardless of who you love
Or regardless of who you worship

We all got survivor in us
We all got that fire in us
We all got one shot at life
And I'm willing to die to live it
So bring in the violinist
And bring in the choir too
We all gotta' find within us
The thing that inspires you
The thing that'll wake you up

The thing that's inside you
Now think of that thing
And use it to drive you
Gotta' use it to pick you up
Whenever you feeling low
Just bottle that feeling up
And do not let that feeling go
And always know that
As we travel down this long dark hallway
All I know is that we gonna' make it our way

They say I'm a non-believer
All I know is what I've seen
I've seen some things that'll make a man get down and pray
We might be bruised but we're not broken
No surrender, mind's awoken
'Cause when everything goes wrong, we find a way
'Cause when everything goes wrong, we find a way

And I say
Hey, make it our way, make it our way 'til the river runs dry
We gon' make it our way, make it our way, make it our way
And I say
Hey, make it our way, make it our way 'til the river runs dry
We gon' make it our way, make it our way, make it our way
