This is how it is
|
This is how it goes
|
You come into this world alone
|
And travel down this road
|
You try to do the best you can
|
But there's no guarantees
|
So one day you'll be flying high
|
The next down on your knees
|
|
Chorus:
|
I guess we're on our own
|
I know that's nothing new
|
Today is just a stepping stone
|
Along the avenue
|
Tomorrow I'll be coming home
|
I'll find a rendezvous
|
I'll run towards the great unknown
|
And drink the morning dew
|
|
This is what it's like
|
And how it is to choose
|
Where you stop along the way
|
And fix your worn out shoes
|
How to recognise a girl
|
Avoiding all her mates
|
Forget the things you thought you knew
|
You may as well again
|
|
Chorus:
|
I guess we're on our own
|
I know that's nothing new
|
Today is just a stepping stone
|
Along the avenue
|
Tomorrow I'll be coming home
|
I'll find a rendezvous
|
I'll run towards the great unknown
|
And dink the morning dew
|
|
This is how it goes
|
This is how it fairs
|
When all the world is falling down
|
And dragging out your hair
|
This is what they say
|
If you should ask them why
|
The world is in a backward spin
|
You fall, you live, you die
|
|
Chorus:
|
I guess we're on our own
|
I know that's nothing new
|
Today is just a stepping stone
|
Along the avenue
|
Tomorrow I'll be coming home
|
I'll find a rendezvous
|
I'll run towards the great unknown
|
And drink the morning dew
|
