It's Not the Way Lyrics

Once as a child
I thought I was drowning
I couldn't swim no one was around
Suddenly then life became precious
Somehow I summoned
The will to survive
So once again what could be an ending
Is once again
Alarmingly near
We've climbed so high
The future seemed boundless
At times so high we couldn't see ground

You always told me if I only told the truth
That I would always be a part of you

It's not the way you look that's turning me on
It's not the way you walk that makes it so hard
It's just the way that everything that you do
That makes me dream about a life with just you

So many times our band has been threatened
But everytime it's managed to survive
So many times our faith has been challenged

There is a battle I must wage without you
There is a burden I must pay without you
I have a reason for holding my ground
I hear a voice still calling out
Stand up
