It Has To Be This Way

(ｓｔａｎｄｉｎｇ　ｈｅｒｅ)

Standing here

(ｉ　ｒｅａｌｉｚｅ)

I realize

(ｙｏｕ　ａｒｅ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｍｅ)

You are just like me

(ｔｒｙｉｎｇ　ｔｏ　ｍａｋｅ　ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ)

Trying to make history

(ｂｕｔ　ｗｈｏ’ｓ　ｔｏ　ｊｕｄｇｅ)

But who’s to judge

(ｔｈｅ　ｒｉｇｈｔ　ｆｒｏｍ　ｗｒｏｎｇ)

The right from wrong

(ｗｈｅｎ　ｏｕｒ　ｇｕａｒｄ　ｉｓ　ｄｏｗｎ)

When our guard is down

(ｉ　ｔｈｉｎｋ　ｗｅ’ｌｌ　ｂｏｔｈ　ａｇｒｅｅ)

I think we’ll both agree

(ｔｈａｔ　ｖｉｏｌｅｎｃｅ　ｂｒｅｅｄｓ　ｖｉｏｌｅｎｃｅ)

That Violence breeds violence

(ｂｕｔ　ｉｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｅｎｄ　ｉｔ　ｈａｓ　ｔｏ　ｂｅ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｗａｙ)

But in the end it has to be this way

(ｉ’ｖｅ　ｃａｒｖｅｄ　ｍｙ　ｏｗｎ　ｐａｔｈ)

I’ve carved my own path

(ｙｏｕ　ｆｏｌｌｏｗｅｄ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｗｒａｔｈ)

You followed your wrath

(ｂｕｔ　ｍａｙｂｅ　ｗｅ’ｒｅ　ｂｏｔｈ　ｔｈｅ　ｓａｍｅ)

But maybe we’re both the same

(ｔｈｅ　ｗｏｒｌｄ　ｈａｓ　ｔｕｒｎｅｄ)

The world has turned

(ａｎｄ　ｓｏ　ｍａｎｙ　ｈａｖｅ　ｂｕｒｎｅｄ)

And so many have burned

(ｂｕｔ　ｎｏｂｏｄｙ　ｉｓ　ｔｏ　ｂｌａｍｅ)

But nobody is to blame

(ｙｅｔ　ｓｔａｒｉｎｇ　ａｃｒｏｓｓ)

Yet staring across

(ｔｈｉｓ　ｂａｒｒｅｎ　ｗａｓｔｅｄ　ｌａｎｄ)

this barren wasted land

(ｉ　ｆｅｅｌ　ｎｅｗ　ｌｉｆｅ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｂｅ　ｂｏｒｎ)

I feel new life will be born

(ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ　ｔｈｅ　ｂｌｏｏｄ　ｓｔａｉｎｅｄ　ｓａｎｄ)

Beneath the blood stained sand

(ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ　ｔｈｅ　ｂｌｏｏｄ　ｓｔａｉｎｅｄ　ｓａｎｄ)

Beneath the blood stained sand
