For every calm there is a storm But it is often out of view It changes paths, it changes forms Just like our souls Like they often do Broke the calm, strain in the back I was born, driven by fear And I don't think I'll ever understand But I know I'll be runnin' for years And I, I hope there's a higher ground 'Cause I'm going steadily down And I know, I know I'll be alright If I, if I just get through the night and I love your way, oh I love you baby, don't mean maybe I love your way, and oh you brighten and enlighten I've been walkin', I've been walkin' sideways Walkin' down the street I won't look back for another minute There's nothin' left to see Oh, I took the long way Oh, I took the long way (Repeat all) (Repeat verses 2 thru 5)
