The Way It Is
Embracing Life's Rain: Finding Wisdom in 'The Way It Is'
Lyrics
You'd better laugh, when it rains
You should find humor or positivity in difficult situations, like rainy days.
Cos when you don't, the rain remains
If you don't laugh, the negativity or challenges persist.
If I don't go, I won't be able to
Leaving is necessary to return.
To come back, come back to you
The act of leaving and returning is emphasized.
I know we try to keep everything in hand
Efforts are made to control everything, but some things are difficult to comprehend.
But there's a thing that's so hard to understand
There's an aspect that's challenging to understand despite attempts at control.
Sometimes, it's the way it is
Expressing acceptance of situations as they are.
Sometimes it is the way it is
Reiterating acceptance of the reality of certain situations.
If you got a problem, can you do something?
Suggesting proactive problem-solving; don't worry, take action.
Then why worry? Just do that thing
If a solution exists, act on it without unnecessary worry.
And if there's nothing, nothing you can do
When there's nothing to be done, worrying won't change the situation.
Then why worry? It won't fix it to
Emphasizing that worrying won't solve problems when there's no action to take.
I know we try to keep everything in hand
Repeating the struggle to maintain control over everything.
But there's a thing that's so hard to understand
Highlighting the difficulty in understanding certain aspects despite efforts to control.
Sometimes, it's the way it is
Reaffirming acceptance of situations as they are.
Sometimes it is the way it is
Reiterating acceptance of the reality of certain situations.
It's easy said, but it's hard to do
Expressing that certain things are easier said than done.
That's because your heart talks to
Attributing challenges to the communication between the heart and the mind.
The flesh ain't weak and the mind ain't strong
Suggesting emotional strength (heart) and mental weakness (mind).
With your heart there's nothing wrong
Emphasizing that there's nothing wrong with following one's heart.
I know we try to keep everything in hand
Reiterating the struggle to maintain control over everything.
But there's a thing that's so hard to understand
Highlighting the difficulty in understanding certain aspects despite efforts to control.
Sometimes, it's the way it is
Reaffirming acceptance of situations as they are.
Sometimes it is the way it is
Reiterating acceptance of the reality of certain situations.
