lyrics
Some say deny
some say deliver
some say it’s a mountain
some say a river
And we eat the bread
and we drink the wine
dig up the earth
or pray five times
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
Some say it’s joy
some say suffer
some say avoid
the passion we are given
And we warm in the sunlight
and we draw down the moon
dance in the firelight
and die too soon
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
If there’s a heaven at all
Good people meet there one and all
Some say do penance
some fight pollution
some take their chances
on absolution
And we drink bitter tears
to remember the fallen
embrace our fears
and follow our calling
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
some say deliver
some say it’s a mountain
some say a river
And we eat the bread
and we drink the wine
dig up the earth
or pray five times
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
Some say it’s joy
some say suffer
some say avoid
the passion we are given
And we warm in the sunlight
and we draw down the moon
dance in the firelight
and die too soon
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
If there’s a heaven at all
Good people meet there one and all
Some say do penance
some fight pollution
some take their chances
on absolution
And we drink bitter tears
to remember the fallen
embrace our fears
and follow our calling
The way is wide
The way is wide to heaven
