Lyrics

Things Are
©2024, Peter Goodman

Put down your sword
That’s not a fight
Worth dying for
I know it’s hard
But keep it together

That’s just the way things are
You're not alone, we’re not very far

You’ll face your fear
It’s trite to say
You’ve had a bad year
Just guard your heart
And hold yourself steady

That’s just the way things are
You're not alone, we’re not very far

One lesson dear
That you should not forget
Pay attention here
And you will not regret
I’ve been around
The block a few times
Not everything rhymes

That’s just the way things are
You're not alone, we’re not very far

That’s just the way things are
We’ll be downtown, at McCarty’s bar
