On the Way to Something Better

Words and music by jc porter

They made me my brothers keeper
So I set my brother free
They came and stole that away
And that scares the hell out of me
I can't look at the broken one's
I've been told that’s not he way
If I can't look how can I see
To tell my self what's right and wrong

On the wings of a steal bird going down
Someone else always takes that fall
On the way to something better now
That’s the price we all have to pay

Well well can you hear the silence
Calling me from down the street
If I hurry I could catch up
I could stay here where the noise is sweet

From the album "the Stand"
