The Way Life Is
Quietly, year after year
Your voice no longer
hides our greatest fear
I'm so damn far away
wishing you were here
Smiling, reassuring
Showing me
How to find warmth
At the top of the
Tallest mountain
And light at the bottom
Of the darkest abyss
Smiling, reassuring
Telling me it is
the way life is
I'm too many miles away
Wishing I was there
You and me
Holding hands
Fearlessly listening to
The howling winds
Waiting for the cleansing rain
Dancing with the ticking hail
Hushing with the falling snow
Because we both know
There's always calm
Before the storm
It is the way life is
Has been and will
Always be
