There's Got to Be a Way" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her self-titled debut studio album (1990). Columbia released it as the fifth and final single from the album only in the United Kingdom in May 1991. It was one of four songs Carey wrote with Ric Wake during their first recording session together in February 1990, but "There's Got to Be a Way" was the only composition to make the final track listing.[1]
Key Lyrics
There's got to be a way
To unite this human race
And together we'll bring on a change
In another land they still believe
Color grants supremacy
I don't understand how there can be
Regulated bigotry
