The Way is a 2010 American drama film directed, produced and written by Emilio Estevez, starring his father Martin Sheen, Deborah Kara Unger, James Nesbitt, Yorick van Wageningen, and Estevez.
The film honors the Camino de Santiago and promotes the traditional pilgrimage. Saying he did not want the film to appeal to only one demographic, Emilio Estevez called the film "pro-people, pro-life, not anti-anything".
Thomas Avery (Martin Sheen) is an American ophthalmologist who goes to France following the death of his adult son, Daniel (Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees during a storm while walking the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James), a Catholic pilgrimage route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. Tom's purpose is initially to retrieve his son's body. However, in a combination of grief and homage to his son, Tom decides to walk the ancient spiritual trail where his son died, taking Daniel's ashes with him.
I came home to a house without you
The air was stale, the walls were bare
But somehow I still knew, that you were there
I wanna see you more
I miss your company
I wish that things were still
The way they used to be
The phone call at 3am
To come and pick me up
Was i born to be a ballet dancer, or an astronaut
If I needed to talk, you would make the time for me
I wish that things were still
The way they used to be
But only for a day
Just so I can say
That I remembered you
Because I wouldn't be the same
If anything was changed
And thats the truth
I wanna see you more
I miss your company
I wish that things were still
The way they used to be
I wanna see you more
I miss your company
I wish that things were still
The way they used to be
But only for a day
Just so I could say
That I remembered you
But only for a day
The way they used to be
But only for a day
