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.
