You'll never know

You're walking down the street

You see faces you've never seen before

You realize

That most of them you'll never know

And that's the way it is

We do the dance

We dangle on a string

And make believe that everything is real

Lost in a trance

They make us all dance alone

And that's the way it is

Stand against the wind

Crying in the rain

Let the games begin

Pain is always, pain is always pain

We will let time tell us

That that's the way it is

Do you believe

That with just one little smile

This whole world

Has changed a thousand times

Yet in a breeze

This whole world can be gone

Can't you see there's something wrong

Can't you hear it in this song

I believe that's the way it is

I believe that's the way it is

I believe that's the way it is.
