The Way It Is

Im so sorry when I told you
Those smokestacks were making clouds for the sky
But if I told you the truth
It would just bring so many tears
So many tears to your eyes
I said it thats the way it is
And the way its gonna be
If thats the way it is
Id rather make believe
Oh remember sitting on that beach
Watching all tha lightning fill up the sky
Well you got so scared
Until I told you it was just fireworks like the fourth of July
I said it thats the way it is
And the way its gonna be
If thats the way it is
Id rather make believe
I Know one day youll be old enough
To know my stories I told are not true
But when you have your own children
And they ask you questions
Youll know, youll know just what to do
Youll say it thats the way it is
And the way its gonna be
If thats the way it is
Id rather make believe
Oh thats the way it is
And the way its gonna be
If thats the way it is
Id rather make believe
