Doesn't Have to Be This Way

from it doesn't have to be this way [deluxe single] by Andre Henry

subscriber exclusive

lyrics

I see the children across the sea
Left on the shore like trash and debris
I hear a nation sigh relieved
But it doesn’t have to be
Doesn’t have to be this way

Shattering windows
Flashing lights
Bullets tear the dark skin of night
The sound of mothers swearing at the skies

It doesn’t have to be
Doesn’t have to be this way
Doesn’t to have to be
It doesn’t to have be this way

Oh you…
A little lower
A little lower than the angels
There’s a little piece of heaven in you
Oh you…
The power you've been given
Is the power you should live in
The world is the shape that we choose

I hear the beast delcare his lies
See all people with flags held high
I see the world descend in fire

But it doesn’t have to be
Doesn’t have to be this way
It doesn’t have to be
Doesn’t have to be this way
It doesn’t have to be
Doesn’t have to be this way
