That's Just The Way It Is

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...
