PHIL COLLINS - That's Just The Way It Is lyrics

rate me

All day long he was fighting for you<br>And he didn't even know your name<br>Young men come and young men go<br>But life goes on just the same<br><br>And I don't know why<br>Why do we keep holding on<br>I don't know why<br>Pretending to be oh so strong<br>Oh why<br>Is there something I don't know<br>Or something very wrong, with you and me<br>Or maybe<br><br>That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,<br>That's just the way it is.<br><br>They've been waiting for word to come down<br>They've been waiting for you night and day<br>They won't wait any longer for you<br>It may already be too late<br><br>And I don't know why...<br><br>You see the dying, you feel the pain<br>What have you got to say<br>If we agree that we can disagree<br>We could stop all of this today<br><br>It's been your life for as long as you can remember<br>But you cannot fight no more<br>You must want to look your son in the eyes<br>When he asks you what you did it for<br><br>'cos all day long he was fighting for you<br>And he didn't even know your name<br>Young men come and young men go<br>But life goes on just the same<br><br>I don't know why...
