What A Way To Go
Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

When I was just a child
Livin' inside my mind
There were castles, buried treasures
I was so sure that I'd find

And when I was just a boy
Anxious to be a man
I had visions, secret longings
And unbelievable plans

Nothing could stand in my way
So filled with naivete
Not even bad luck discouraged me in any way
Ya know what I'd say

Somewhere I know
There's a place where we can go
Just beyond the clouds
Angels are calling
Someday you'll see
We'll crack this mystery
We're gonna catch a star and ride it forever
What a way, what a way to go
What a way, what a way to go

But after the summer wind
And after the seasons change
I'm still searchin'
I'm still wonderin'
And still the questions remain

Cause holdin' on to my dreams
It's gettin' harder each day
Sometimes I breakdown
But just before I runaway
I hear the child in my say

Someday you'll see
We'll crack this mystery
We're gonna catch a star and ride it forever
What a way, what a way to go

Somewhere I know
There's a place where we can go
Just beyond the clouds
Angels are calling
Someday you'll see
We'll crack this mystery
We're gonna catch a star and ride it forever
What a way, what a way to go
What a way, what a way to go
