That`s Just The Way It Is Lyrics

All day long he was fighting for you

 And he didn't even know your name

 Young men come and young men go

 But life goes on just the same

 

 And I don't know why

 Why do we keep holding on

 I don't know why

 Pretending to be oh so strong

 Oh why

 Is there something I don't know

 Or something very wrong, with you and me

 or maybe

 

 That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,

 That's just the way it is.

 

 They've been waiting for word to come down

 They've been waiting for you night and day

 They won't wait any longer for you

 It may already be too late

 

 And I don't know why...

 

 You see the dying, you feel the pain

 What have you got to say

 If we agree that we can disagree

 We could stop all of this today

 

 It's been your life for as long as you can remember

 But you cannot fight no more

 You must want to look your son in the eyes

 When he asks you what you did it for

 

 'Cos all day long he was fighting for you 

 And he didn't even know your name

 Young men come and young men go

 But life goes on just the same

 

 I don't know why...
