When the word is out from the other side, she turns around 'Cause day and night she's waited patiently Now a different kind of world out there is to be found It's over now for everyone to see This is the way it's meant to be It's the way that we make things right It's the way that we hold on tight I know it's the sign of the times It's the way that we make things turn It's the way that we live and learn I know it's the sign of the times It wakes him up, he turns around And now he's gone He's been waitin' for this moment desperately Now the time is right, he's turnin' back, he's going home It's over now for everyone to see This is the way it's meant to be It's the way that we make things right It's the way that we hold on tight I know it's the sign of the times It's the way that we make things turn It's the way that we live and learn I know it's the sign of the times And every time it's on my mind I feel so insecure it worries me to end up here alone But every time I realize, I need her more and more, yeah I'd never make it on my own, oh God ♪ It's the way that we make things right It's the way that we hold on tight I know it's the sign of the times It's the way that we make things turn It's the way that we live and learn I know it's the sign of the times
