The Way Things Are

Spendin' all your days just chasin' 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

Wastin' all your days facin' 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 lookin’ 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-flowin'

Lay me down under that moon a-glowin'

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
