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 in 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
