Galus in the Way

I used to think that one good tune could change the world

I used to think that that was true

Now I’m not sure the world is ever gonna change

Just gotta change the world inside of you

I used to think that one good joke could end the pain

I used to think that that was true

Now I’m not sure the pain is ever gonna end

Just gotta end the pain inside of you

I can’t believe that it might always stay this way

I need to dream that there will be a better day

Although you might think that things will be OK

They’re not improving you just choose to look away

I used to think that one deep truth could change the world

I used to think that that was true

Now I’m not sure that truth will ever change a thing

Unless you find that truth inside of you

I used to think that one deep soul will save the world

I used to think that that was true

Now I’m not sure the world will let itself be saved

Unless you mean the world inside of you

I can’t believe that it might always stay this way

I need to dream that there will be a better day

Although you might think that things will be OK

They’re not improving you just choose to look away

Now I think the only thing that you can change

Is you can change your current view 

Through one good tune, one joke, one truth or one deep soul

You can change what you deem to be true

The things you thought you were can all just fall away

And give birth to someone no one knew      

That’s the person I hope to meet someday

The person deep down inside you

I can’t believe all that’s wrong is here to stay

I need to dream that we’ll agree to change someday

We want Geulah, at least that’s what we all say

But look around and you’ll see Galus in its way

Look around and you’ll see Galus in its way

If you want Geulah you can’t simply look away

If you won’t face the problems then they’re here to stay

So don’t look away
