That's Just the Way It Is

That's the way it is
That's just the way it is
Pretending to be oh, so strong
I don't know why
Pretending to be oh, so strong
Pretending to be oh, so strong
That's the way it is

It's been your life for as long as you can remember
Something very wrong, with you and me

Or maybe
And I don't know why
Is there something I don't know

But life goes on just the same

Is there something I don't know
There's nothing I can do
That's the way it is

That's the way it is
When he asks you what you did it for
There's nothing I can do
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you

And he didn't even know your name
That's just the way it is, oh
They won't wait any longer for you
That's just the way it is
They've been waiting for you night and day
We could stop all of this today
Is there something know I don't knew
Why do we keep holding on?
You see the dying, you feel the pain

Oh, why?
That's the way it is
Why do we keep holding on?
But life goes on just the same
That's the way it is
I don't know why
But you cannot fight no more
It may already be too late
Why do we keep holding on?
That's just the way it is
What have you got to say?
Or maybe

Something very wrong, with you and me
They've been waiting for word to come down
You must want to look your son in the eyes
Young men come and young men go

Young men come and young men go
That's just the way it is
That's the way it is
Or maybe
I don't know why
And I don't know why
Oh, why?
Something very wrong, with you and me
Oh, why?
And I don't know why

If we agree that we can disagree
That's just the way it is
