I get by in a different way   I get by in this life in a different way   I get by in a different way.      I get high in a different way   I've got hope to cope with the everyday   I get high in a different way.      No other life will ever do   No other way can see me through   No other way.      I see things in a different way   I see color and life when there is gray   I see things in a different way.      I feel love in a different way   I've got hope to cope with the everyday   I feel love in a different way.      Looked at as one peculiar soul   Who prayed that God would not let go.      I get by in a different way   I've got something real.
