I Hope It Won't Be This Way Always

Lyrics: Barbara Allison
Music: Barbara Allison

Played by Jerry Garcia with the JGB half a dozen times in 1989

Chorus
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way
I hope it won't be this way
Always
I hope it won't be this way
I'm praying for a brighter day
I hope it won't be this way
Always

Lord make this world a better place
The way you want it to be
Every woman and man, boy and girl
Will know we're one with thee

[chorus]

Take away all our sorrow
Leave our love once home
Leave a bright tomorrow
And never, never leave us alone

[chorus]

I know it won't be this way
I know it won't be this way
I know it won't be this way
Always
I know it won't be this way
I'm searching for a brighter day
I know it won't be this way
Always

Well I know it won't be this way
Always
