They say we don't have a future
Living for today yeah
We might as well give up our schemes
It's all in the spell we're under
Caught in the times as you know
That keeps us searching for our dreams

It might be bad
But this is The Way We Are
It's oh so sad
But this is The Way We Are
It's all we can say
This is The Way We Are

It's so easy to take the high road
That sometimes you never know
'Til far away you wonder why
There are so many roads to choose from
Leading down to another life
It must be meant for you and I

It might be strange
But this is The Way We Are
Tried to change
But this is The Way We Are
Closer to life
This is The Way We Are

Don't care if it's true that you can
Leave this world and come again
Forever light upon the wind
But until I can touch the sunrise
I need so much love
To beat this countdown to it's end

When the time runs out
This is The Way We Are
Will it leave no doubt
This is The Way We Are
We're born to run free
'Cause this is The Way We Are
