The many miles we walked The many things we learned 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(that's the way it is) That's the way it is(Oh oh) That's the way it is
