Lyrics Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea

Own True Way

1. It takes a lot to get to the top

And a little just to fall off quick

And I think I've seen you here before

Sometimes you fly so high

So fast it makes you sick

You won the battle lost the war

X: But I don't mind if you say

Every time you talk to me

Every time we talk

R: We came, we saw

We conquered and crumbled

In our own true way

We loved, we fought

We rocked and we tumbled

In our own true way

2. Well I believe in brotherhood

And the good of all mankind

Though I admit it's hard to find

But if you want to talk just come and knock

It don't matter what the time

Solitude is no friend of mine

X: And I don't mind if you say...

R: We came, we saw...

3. I don't mind

It's hard to be from a rock in the sea

Livin' in a big steel town

Finding unfamiliar faces all around

You heard 'em tell stupid jokes

You heard 'em laugh everytime you spoke

But you don't let nobody put you down

X: But I don't mind if you say...

R: We came, we saw...

In our own true way...

And I don't mind...

If you say...
