the way
The Capital Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen it before
Afraid of what's in store
But, this time I'm ready to go

Break through the laws of man
Into a foreign land
It's the only way to show
Everything we are and what we came to do
I'm feelin' ready
I, I know we're ready
Everything we are and what we're meant to choose
With the lights down low
It's time to let 'em know

I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way

The clock's tickin' down
The eyes are looking now
I think they're ready to know

There's something more to this
Something that can't be missed
No matter which way you go

Everything that lies behind just let it go
I'm feelin' ready
I, I know we're ready
Everything that lies ahead come take control
With the lights down low
It's time to let 'em know

I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way

It's like where, where do I begin
The clock is tickin' down my friend
But no worries like RG III we takin' it
(All The Way)
Yeah
Let this be the sign for you
To open up your mind
'Cause when he comes back next time
He's takin' it
(All The Way)
Takin' it
(All The Way)
Takin' it
(All The Way)

I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
I know, I know
It doesn't matter what they say
'Cause when the sun shines down and wipes away the grey




I know, I know
We're gonna take it all the way
