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
