Your hands upon A deadman's gun, and you're Lookin' down the sights
Your heart is warm And the seams are torn, and they've Given you a reason to fight
And you're not gonna take What they've got to give And you're not gonna let 'em take your will to live Because they've taken enough And you've given them all you can give And luck won't save them tonight They've given you a reason to fight
And all the storms you've been chasin' About to rain down tonight And all that pain you've been facin' About to come into the light
Your hands upon A deadman's gun, and you're Lookin' down the sights
Your heart is warm And the seams are torn, and they've Given you a reason to fight
And you're not gonna take What they've got to give And you're not gonna let 'em take your will to live Because they've taken enough And you've given them all you can give And luck won't save them tonight They've given you a reason to fight
And all the storms you've been chasin' About to rain down tonight And all that pain you've been facin' About to come into the light
[Verse 1] The many miles we walked The many things we learned The building of a shrine Only just to burn May the wind be at your back Good fortune touch your hand May the cards lay out a straight All from your command
[Chorus] That's the way it is That’s the way it is That's the way it is That's the way it is
[Verse 2] Blue heron leaves the northern sky Trusts the journey to new heights What’s the meaning of the scar If we don't know how to heal Should we ever be apart Then how does it feel
[Chorus] That's the way it is That's the way it is That's the way it is That's the way it is
[Bridge] Shine light into darkness Shine light into darkness
[Chorus] That's the way it is That's the way it is (So many miles to walk) That’s the way it is (So many things we’ve got to learn) That's the way it is (Oh, that’s the way it is) That's the way it is (Oh) That's the way it is
