Lyrics Something In The Way
Something in the way
Misery came and i can’t
Turn back down my way
The sky is falling down and
Help me aaa….
Nothing left i can say
Something in the way
Mystery of faith
Stole the whole my heart away
The earth cracking down and
Help me aaa….
Nothing left to say
Bejone aku ketemu sliramu,
Mbok pethukno aku, marang pepujaku, Jathukno aku, ra iso mlayu,
Kesrimpet, petheng dhedhet atiku…
I…don’t wanna give up and
I…am chasing my destiny and
Something in the way
I’m following what You say
I’m following what You say
Something in the way
Misery came and i can’t
Turn back down my way
The sky is falling down and
Help me aaa….
Nothing left to say
Bejone aku ketemu sliramu,
Mbok pethukno aku, marang pepujaku, Jathukno aku, ra iso mlayu,
Kesrimpet, petheng dhedhet atiku…
I…don’t wanna give up and
I…am chasing my destiny and
Something in the way
I’m following what You say
Don’t wanna give up and
I…don’t wanna give up and
I…am following what You say
Something in the way
Nothing left i can say
