Lyrics Better Way - Brady James

Saw a man in a suit just the other day
Sad look upon his face
And with a pause, he put out his cigarette and walked away
He stared through the buildings at the sun
Like the knots in his stomache come undone and
Walked towards the concrete slab where he'd worked all day.

See, we keep our ears to the city streets
We hear the sadness in the footstep beat and
Pour one out for the symphonies that they used to play

We grow old and we can't stay strong
And we choose our path but we don't travel long
So before I'm gone I've got just one thing left to say

Keep your chin up
Keep your heart wide open
Though your voice shakes
Leave no words unspoken
And they'll beat you down
Leave you scarred and broken
But we can't stop searching for a better way.

So I looked at this fine business man
With no wedding ring upon his hand
And I wondered if this is really where he wants to be

I wondered what it is he's thinking
At night when he's alone and drinking
So I gave him the advice my mother gave to me, I said
Keep your chin up
Keep your heart wide open
Though your voice shakes
Leave no words unspoken
And they'll beat you down
Leave you scarred and broken
But we can't stop searching for a better way

Oh, my love
It gets hard sometimes to see
That Oh, my love
Baby it's only you
It's only you and me
