The Way It Is Lyrics

The Way It Is

In the silence of the morning
Comes a burnin’ yellow light
A brand new day is dawnin’
And nothin’ felt so right

Inside I feel the spirit
As I face and turn the sun
And you were nowhere near it
Now my life has just begun

I don’t want you, I don’t want you
I don’t want you anyway
And I could never, I could never
Hurt you the way that you hurt me

And I don’t understand
How could anyone have the right
To try and take my freedom
I don’t want you, I don’t want you
I don’t want you anyway

Push your boat out into the water
As the tide comes rushing out
Your mother’s only daughter

Now there seems to be some doubt
As you walk across the wasteland
That you seem to be proud of
You lay shackled in your fortress
That you look down from above

I could never hurt you
I’m not that kind of man
