There's Got to be a Way

 

"There's Got to Be a Way" is a song written by American singer Mariah Carey and Ric Wake, and produced by Wake for Carey's debut album Mariah Carey (1990). Carey had lobbied to co-produce the song, but was denied permission by Columbia Records. The protagonist of this dance song declares "There's got to be a way to connect this world today" and pleads for other ways to help fix the state of the world. It is one of Carey's few socially conscious songs, and deals with racism and poverty.

It was released as the album's fourth and final single in the second quarter of 1991 in the United Kingdom, instead of international single "I Don't Wanna Cry." The song received little promotion and failed to reach the top 40, unlike her previous three singles. It made a brief appearance in the top 75, peaking at number 54.

[Verse 1]

A broken man without a home

Desperate and so alone

A victim of society

No one really wants to see

[Verse 2]

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we just help each other

Isn't there enough to share

[Chorus]

There's got to be a way

To connect this world today

Come together to relieve the pain

There's got to be a way

To unite this human race

And together we'll bring on a change

[Verse 3]

In another land they still believe

Color grants supremacy

I don't understand

How there can be

Regulated bigotry

[Verse 4]

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we accept each other

Can't we make ourselves aware

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]

And maybe then the future will be a time

Without war, destitution, and sorrow

And hungry children won't have to die

If we work together today

We'll save tomorrow

[Verse 6]

Some of us don't even wonder

Some of us don't even care

Couldn't we just love each other

Isn't there enough to share

                                                [Chorus]

In my opinion, this song is tell us to cares about social problems that occur In the world at that time when Mariah carey writing this songs. This song want to make us sure that there’s got to be a way to unite the humans to make a changes for the world and realize the future without the wars, sadness, and poverty.
