Songtext The way it had to be Neal Morse

The way it had to be

It might have been the maybe
That crept inside my mind
It might have been the echoes of my heart
Sending shivers down my spine

Soon you'll be pushin' daisies
Then it'll be unclear
And it's too late for all your might have beens
And there's a reason you were here

There you are
Free and feeling so sublime you
Light up the dark
Like sparks in summertime
So much has changed
The past has brought you here
Can't you see?
It's the way it had to be

Innocence and danger
Made you feel so alone
There you stood inside the wreckage of your dreams
Barely able to make it home

There you are
Free and feeling so sublime you
Light up the dark
Like sparks in summertime
So much has changed
And it's all part of how you got free
It's the way it had to be
Open my eyes
There's a moment you can't know
So far from here below
Leave this behind
And believe you've arrived
You have arrived

There you are
Free and feeling so sublime you
Light up the dark
Like sparks in summertime
So much has changed
And it's all part of you getting free
It's the way it had to be
