If That's What It Is
If that's what it is
Then that's what it is
You're probably right to just forget it
Let's face it, you've worked so hard
And now you're scarred
And free of any hope
I guess you should mope
Forget what you planned
Hey, I understand
If that's what it is
Then that's what it is
Though that's not the way I choose to see it
I have my own view that works
With all these jerks
And unenlightened fools
I make my own rules
I do what I can
If I hit the wall
Well, maybe it's all just part of the plan
Tomorrow will come
Today will be gone
And so I put one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
And just keep walking on
If that's what it is
(If that's what it is)
What also is true
(What also is true)
Is it may not always be disaster
I realize that now it is
But how it is
Isn't how it's got to be
Another day comes
Another day goes
And if I get teased or hurt
Or lied to or punched in the nose
I say, "I won't cry"
I cry until dawn
And then I put one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
And just keep walking on
I'm becoming a man
Maybe all that it means is I face the world for what it is
And not what I wish it would be
I'm becoming a man
Watching everything fall into place
I swing, I miss
I'll get through this
I almost guarantee
One day I'll be thirty
One day I'll be fine
One day I'll make fun of this dramatic life of mine
One day I'll be older
And then I'll write a book
About the choices that I made
(The choices that you made)
And the chances that I took
(The chances that you)
If that's what it is
Then that's what it is
At least until Disney can rewrite it
We put on our shoes and socks
And take the knocks
And wish that it would change
And maybe it will
And maybe it can
Until then
You trust that all this is just, "becoming a man"
You take your best shot
'Cause look what you got!
Go on and put one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other
The crip, the geek, the Jew and his mother
And just keep walking on
Then that's what it is
You're probably right to just forget it
Let's face it, you've worked so hard
And now you're scarred
And free of any hope
I guess you should mope
Forget what you planned
Hey, I understand
If that's what it is
Then that's what it is
Though that's not the way I choose to see it
I have my own view that works

And unenlightened fools

Well, maybe it's all just part of the plan

One foot in front of the other

(What also is true)
