Thats Just The Way It Is - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
All day long he was fighting for you
\r
And he didn't even know your name
\r
Young men come and young men go
\r
But life goes on just the same
\r

\r
And I don't know why
\r
Why do we keep holding on
\r
I don't know why
\r
Pretending to be oh so strong
\r
Oh why
\r
Is there something I don't know
\r
Or something very wrong, with you and me
\r
or maybe
\r

\r
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
\r
That's just the way it is.
\r

\r
They've been waiting for word to come down
\r
They've been waiting for you night and day
\r
They won't wait any longer for you
\r
It may already be too late
\r

\r
And I don't know why...
\r

\r
You see the dying, you feel the pain
\r
What have you got to say
\r
If we agree that we can disagree
\r
We could stop all of this today
\r

\r
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
\r
But you cannot fight no more
\r
You must want to look your son in the eyes
\r
When he asks you what you did it for
\r

\r
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
\r
And he didn't even know your name
\r
Young men come and young men go
\r
But life goes on just the same
\r

\r
I don't know why...
\r
\r
