Our Way

Our Way

Life doesn’t always go our way.
There are so many other ways it can go.
When it is going our way, we think
Of course it’s going our way.
Our way is the way it should be going.

Then, before we know it,
Life is no longer at our side.
It must have taken another way,
A way we didn’t take because it wasn’t ours.
It’s going someone else’s way now.

We hate this someone else
Whose way life is going the way
We hate the new partner of an old lover.
And it is always when life isn’t going our way
That night lets go of the sky and falls.

Trouble is life had the lantern and the map.
Though we have the road to guide us, 
We’re not so sure now that our way
Is the way we should be going.
Without life, we're lost.

But life always appears out of the dark.
Apparently it changed its mind
And decided to go our way after all. 
So we walk arm in arm with life again, which is nice, 
Though we never seem to get where we’re going.
