lyrics

THAT’S THE WAY IT IS


I know I’m not perfect and neither are you
let’s relax and admit we’ve created this stew
when we’re caught in a thought we can’t see what is true

I know that you love me and I do love you
and we didn’t expect this to be what we’d do
we’re acting like children pretending not to

That’s the way it is. That’s what my father told me.
“No use resisting what already is.
Yes it is painful… sometimes it is strange… and that’s the way it is.
That’s the way it is.”

I know the anger that swallows whole days,
the fear that consumes a life in a craze
and laughter that heals in the gentlest ways.

I know in one moment, we can wake up and live
and realize the joy that we get when we give
and when then is NOW, we will gain perspective.

That’s the way it is. That’s what my father told me.
“No use resisting what already is.
Yes it is wonderful… sometimes it is wild… and that’s the way it is.
That’s the way it is.”
