Another Way - Kina Grannis

How would you know if what you’re needing

Isn’t something you’re not seeing

What if you lost the chance to be what you could be

How would you know that something better

Wasn’t waiting for bad weather

To soak its seeds, to give you everything you need

We have a habit of thinking we know

The way it goes, then it goes another way

I know the latter is not a laughing matter

But it seems we’d be crazy not to think

That maybe this could be

Exactly what should be

How would you know if someone wiser

Wasn’t forging in these fires

What if you’d washed away what could’ve set you free

How would you know if you’ve mistaken

When your heart is bruised and aching

For a bad thing when all you needed was to bleed

We have a habit of thinking we know

The way it goes, then it goes another way

I know the latter is not a laughing matter

But it seems we’d be crazy not to think

That maybe this could be

Exactly what should be

So what if we choose that we’ll let go of

All the things we’ve no control of

What if we learn to love whatever comes to be

We have a habit of thinking we know

The way it goes, then it goes another way

I know the latter is not a laughing matter

But it seems we’d be crazy not to think

That maybe this could be

Exactly what should be
