Lyrics
The many miles we walk
The many things we learn
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
Good fortune touch your hand
May the cards lay out a straight
All from your command
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Trust the journey to new highs
What's the meaning of this scar
If we don't learn how to heal?
Should we ever be apart
Then how does it feel?
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Shine light into darkness
Shine light into darkness
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
(So many miles to walk)
That's the way it is
(So many things we've got to learn)
That's the way it is
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, that's the way it is)
That's the way it is
(Oh)
That's the way it is
