There Must Be A Way
Dr. Michael Dean Ph.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what am I fighting for?
I win some battles
But I always lose the war
I keep right on stumblin'
In this no-man's land out here
But I know
There must be a better world somewhere
Flying high
Some joker clips my wings
Just because he gets a kick
Out of doing those kind of things
I keep on fallin' in space
Or just hangin' in mid-air
But I know
Oh yes, I know
There has just got to be a better world somewhere
Every woman I want
Only wants herself
Everybody I love
Seems to love somebody else
And every woman
Got a license to break my heart
And every love, oh it's over
Over before it gets a chance to start
If it ain't dead
Maybe in the year after
Instead of tears
I'll learn all about laughter
But meanwhile I'm stuck out here
It just ain't fair, but I know
I said I know
Oh yes, I know
There must be a better world somewhere
There's just gotta be
Gotta be a better world somewhere

Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I wonder
At times, I question my motives and desires.
Just what am I fighting for?
What is the purpose of my struggles?
I win some battles
I achieve some victories.
But I always lose the war
However, I end up losing in the end.
I keep right on stumblin'
I continue to falter.
In this no-man's land out here
In this place of uncertainty and confusion.
But I know
Yet, I am confident.
Mm yes, I know
Most certainly, I know.
There must be a better world somewhere
There has to be a better place than this.
Flying high
Feeling successful and soaring.
Some joker clips my wings
Suddenly, someone sabotages my progress.
Just because he gets a kick
Only for the pleasure of causing trouble.
Out of doing those kind of things
By engaging in those sorts of misdeeds.
I keep on fallin' in space
I experience repeated setbacks and failures.
Or just hangin' in mid-air
Or feel suspended in a state of limbo and uncertainty.
Oh yes, I know
Most certainly, I know.
There has just got to be a better world somewhere
Surely, there is a place better than this.
Every woman I want
Every woman I desire.
Only wants herself
Only cares for her own interests.
Everybody I love
Everyone I care for.
Seems to love somebody else
Appears to prefer someone other than me.
And every woman
Moreover, every lady.
Got a license to break my heart
Has the right to crush my soul.
And every love, oh it's over
And very relationship, oh it's done.
Over before it gets a chance to start
Ending before it even begins.
If it ain't dead
If it is not beyond salvation.
Maybe in the year after
Perhaps when another year has passed.
Instead of tears
In place of crying.
I'll learn all about laughter
I'll discover the joys in life.
But meanwhile I'm stuck out here
For now, I am stranded in this place.
It just ain't fair, but I know
This situation is unjust, but I am aware.
Gotta be a better world somewhere
There has got to be a superior place than this one.
