Welcome to non-fiction,
And welcome to the pain,
Welcome to the madness,
Of black and white and gray,
Say hello to the sadness,
Of every day,

This is the way,
This is the way it works,
He's taken away,
Taken away the hurt,

Welcome to redemption,
Welcome to the truth,
Welcome to your freedom,
Freedom from you,
Say, hello to tomorrow,
Goodbye yesterday

This is the way,
This is the way it works,
He's taken away,
Taken away the hurt,

This is the way,
This is the way it works,
He's taken away,
Taken away the hurt,

This is the way,
He's taken away,
Taken away the hurt,

This is the way,
This is the way it works,
He's taken away,
Taken away the hurt,
