The way things are


Spending all your days just chasing money
Fame is just a game, it's empty, honey
And that's the way things are
That's the way things are
That's the way things are
That's the way things are

Wasting all your days facing the mirror
If we close our eyes, we might see clearer
The way things are
The way things are
See things as they really are
The way they really are

You can go your own way if you want to
If you don't mind, I might go there with you

Stand or fall, we'll always have each other
Give my heart to you and no one other
And that's the way things are
That's the way things are
That's the way things are
The way they really are

You can go your own way if you want to
If you don't mind, I might go there with you

Don't go looking for the answers in somebody else
Take it from someone who knows it's all within yourself
You can be free
Oh, you can be free

Lay me down beside that stream a-flowing
Lay me down under that moon a-glowing
That's the way things are
The way things are
That's the way they really are
The way things are

You can go your own way if you want to
If you don't mind, I might go there with you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
