This Is How It Is

This is how it is This is how it goes You come into this world alone And travel down this road You try to do the best you can But there's no guarantees So one day you'll be flying high The next down on your knees Chorus: I guess we're on our own I know that's nothing new Today is just a stepping stone Along the avenue Tomorrow I'll be coming home I'll find a rendezvous I'll run towards the great unknown And drink the morning dew This is what it's like And how it is to choose Where you stop along the way And fix your worn out shoes How to recognise a girl Avoiding all her mates Forget the things you thought you knew You may as well again Chorus: I guess we're on our own I know that's nothing new Today is just a stepping stone Along the avenue Tomorrow I'll be coming home I'll find a rendezvous I'll run towards the great unknown And dink the morning dew This is how it goes This is how it fairs When all the world is falling down And dragging out your hair This is what they say If you should ask them why The world is in a backward spin You fall, you live, you die Chorus: I guess we're on our own I know that's nothing new Today is just a stepping stone Along the avenue Tomorrow I'll be coming home I'll find a rendezvous I'll run towards the great unknown And drink the morning dew
