Life is full of surprises,
And we never know what's ahead,
But we strive to move forward, always,
Rather than live in dread.
We seem to fear the unknown,
Because that's the way it is you see,
We shy away from what we don't understand,
When it's not what we want it to be.
Because that's the way it is,
We accept our lot in our life,
Good or bad, happy or sad,
It's the way of the world and his wife.
Because of the way things are,
We're never fully happy you and me,
Is the grass is greener the other side...,
And is it really what you want it to be?
To live for the future and not day by day,
Is a scary thought for me!
To plan ahead, and worry and fret,
That's no good you see.
One day at a time...
Because that's the way it should be,
No rushing to age ourselves too soon,
It's no good for you and me!
As is life, things are never easy,
Not as easy as we'd like it to be,
Because after all, it's the way of the world,
So we accept the inevitable you see.
