It's sad to see we may never be the way we were before
We don't believe in the magic of the music anymore
And everything's older now and colder and grey
Oh, darlin' I believe there's got to be a better way.

It seems to me we've forgotten how to let our feelings show
We seem to be so much farther from the dreams we used to know
And too many more, my friend, are dying today
Oh darlin' I believe there's got to be a better way.

Listen to the fallen angels learning how to spread their wings.
How will they make it all alone?
Look into the children's laughter
Tell me what tomorrow brings for those so far away from home.

And I can say I'm not sorry for the things we tried to be
But I'm afraid what we're heading toward is up, to you and me
'Cause we got a choice, the future is ours you see
We got a chance to change today

Oh, darlin' don't you believe there's got to be a better way
'Cause we got a choice, the furture is ours you see
We got a chance to change it today.
Oh I believe together there can be a better way
Oh if we believe together we can build a better way.
