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
