Nobody told me it would be good
But I still wanted it to be
Do your homework like you should
Hoping something sets you free (What'll it be)
Afraid of ultimate decay
Never stopping but to rust
Eager to get it underway
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust (If you must)

And if you want to worship truth
And be it medicine, meditation or God or the evening news
Or a fairy tale I sing to you
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
There is a way
By it you learn you will increase
A million ways to hear its voice
And you will finally feel aware
That you're a part of everywhere

You tell me God is dead
Well I say God always was
Life, death, living and dying all at the same
You know, that's all it ever does
Could be God is our idea
And ideas never die
Created in its image
We seek its light from up on high (Give it a try)

And if you want to worship truth
And be it medicine, meditation or God or the evening news
Or a fairy tale I sing to you
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
There is a way
The way of things, there is a way
By it you learn you will increase
A million ways to hear its voice
And you will finally feel aware
That you're a part of everywhere

I wanna try to play the way
That R2-D2 beeps and squeaks and tells you everything
You know there's so much else to say
The infinite eternal chase
The quenching of the thirst

And if you want to worship truth
Be it medicine, meditation or God or the evening news
Or a fairy tale I sing to you
There is an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
The way of things, there is a way
There is a way
The way of things, there is a way

By it you learn you will increase
You will affect your own release
A million ways to hear its voice
And in the end you've got no choice
You will finally feel aware
That you're a part of everywhere
And there's an answer when you pray
The way of things, there is a way
There is a way
The way of things, there is a way...

Politics aside, I have a soft-spot in my heart for John Popper.

C'mon, man, Florida was a long time a go and in a galaxy far far away.
Worst Blues Traveler song I ever heard. I do like the bit of yodeling at the end.
Call me a cock-eyed Mahayanist but I especially like the lyrics, whatever the Blues Travelers\' beliefs about \"The Way\". Nicely non-denominational affirmative. Quite easy to listen to as well, and if it puts me in mind of the Four Noble Truths and essential Buddha Nature while I finish my coffee, Hey ! that\'s a plus.
Below-average Blues Traveler - they tend to overdo the rapid-fire vocals and harmonica style a bit.
