The Way It Is

This is the lyric to a country song I wrote, I won't sing it myself but it's about my family. Hope you enjoy

 The Way It Is

 

(Verse 1)

If the wick’s still burnin’ and wax is meltin’

Then I still got a secret that I ain’t telling

But don’t be worried it’ll do us all some good

If the lights ain’t quite off but sure are dim

Just be patient I’ll soon let you in 

Don’t you fret, one day we’re gonna win

 

(Chorus)

Cause I light a little candle for all my sins

For my hopes and dreams, family and friends

For the things in life that mean the most to me

I’ll light ‘em up till the room catches fire

I’m just like a phoenix, the flames take me higher

I’ll go higher and higher till this family gets what it needs

We need a little more hope, a little more love

To once in a while thank God above

That we still have each other cause we’re gonna make it big

I’ll have it no other way, that’s just the way it is

 

(Verse 2)

If I close my door and don’t say nothing

Doesn’t mean you’re unwelcome, means I’m cookin’ up something

Something that’s gonna put us on the map

You gotta be shut out to be let in

I’m in there saying dear God, forgive my sins

But I’ll soon open up and let you all come through

 

(Chorus)

But right now I light a little candle for all my sins

For my hopes and dreams, family and friends

For the things in life that mean the most to me

I’ll light ‘em up till the room catches fire

I’m just like a phoenix, the flames take me higher

I’ll go higher and higher till this family gets what it needs

We need a little more hope, a little more love

To once in a while thank God above

That we still have each other cause we’re gonna make it big

I’ll have it no other way, that’s just the way it is

 

(Bridge)

You and me know better than life 

That we’ve got gifts that you just couldn’t buy

And we’re gonna share our gifts, some day, with the world

You and me know more than anyone else

That we gotta think about more than ourselves

Then we’ll not just make it big, we’ll make it big and make it last

 

(Chorus)

So would you light a little candle for all your sins

For your hopes and dreams, family and friends

For the things in life that mean the most to you

Would you light ‘em up till the world catches fire

Cause like a phoenix you’ll only rise higher

You’ll go higher and higher till this family has what it needs

We’ll have brand new hopes and lots of love

We’ll never forget to thank God above

That we still have each other and sure did make it big

Please have it no other way, that’s just the way it is

 

Light a little candle for all our struggles

For the times that were bad we sure gotta love ‘em

Cause without bad times we’d never know what’s good

Would you light ‘em up till your hearts on fire

Cause like a phoenix you’ll just rise higher

Higher and higher till there’s no where left to go

But right back down into the arms of love

From the family you got from the Lord above

You still have each other and that’s as big as it gets

Please have it no other way, that’s just the way it is

The way it is

Please have it no other way, cause that’s just the way it is

Country huh? Not your usual style but I would love to hear it one day... Maybe you could sing it just once to let me in on the melody lol... Great lyrics!

These don't seem like typical country lyrics, but that's a good thing because typical country lyrics are trash. I hope there is a fiddle in the band :-)
