Chorus:   One way or another, we'll all need each other   Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would   But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover   Cause everything comes out the way it should      Verse:   Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door   Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more   His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor   Mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for      Prechorus:   Everybody here's got a story to tell   Everybody's been through their own hell   There's nothing too special about getting hurt   Getting over it, that takes the work      Chorus:   Cause one way or another, we'll all need each other   Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would   But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover   Cause everything comes out the way it should      Verse:   Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the week   Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek   Blessed are the ones on the other side   Blessed are we for just being alive      Prechorus:      One day I stopped wanting anything at all   The heavens opened up like a waterfall   No use in worrying about when it ends   Just for now be thankful for what i get      Chorus:   Cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer   It makes no difference the way you wanted it   But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover   Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end      Prechorus:   Seems like life is a palindrome   You cry when you die, you cry when you're born   In between it's all about the ups and downs   Add 'em all together, they cancel each other out      Chorus:   Cause one way or another   One way or another   You won't get what you wanted   You'll get enough, for sure   One way or another   Winter pays for the summer   Won't get what you wanted   What you got'll be good      Verse:   Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door   Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more   His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor   Mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for
