Better Way To Live

(album: Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue - 2009)

How long have you been dreaming
Of a life bigger than the one you lead
Your hurt has left you guarded
But hope is tugging at your sleeve
You were meant for something more

All I know is there's a better way to live
We were made for so much more than this
It's not the love you have but the love you have to give
All I know is there's a better way, a better way to live

All my life looking in the mirror
Praying for the will and wings to fly
But when I saw the world out my window
With a broken heart I came alive
I was made for something more

All I know is there's a better way to live
We were made for so much more than this
It's not the love you have but the love you have to give
All I know is there's a better way, a better way to live

When we step aside from the center of our lives
When we learn to love mercy more than being right
Pursuing peace and honesty
Starting down the road of selflessness
And seeing where it leads

All I know is there's a better way to live
We were made for so much more than this
It's not the love you have but the love you have to give
All I know is there's a better way, a better way to live
