If That's What It Is Lyrics
[00:11.72] If that's what it is
[00:14.90] Then that's what it is
[00:17.88] You're probably right to just forget it
[00:24.26] Let's face it, you've worked so hard
[00:27.04] And now you're scarred
[00:28.91] And free of any hope
[00:31.36] I guess you should mope
[00:34.31] Forget what you planned
[00:37.49] Hey, I understand
[00:44.16] If that's what it is
[00:47.49] Then that's what it is
[00:50.85] Though that's not the way I choose to see it
[00:57.29] I have my own view that works
[01:00.02] With all these jerks
[01:01.86] And unenlightened fools
[01:04.27] I make my own rules
[01:07.32] I do what I can
[01:10.75] If I hit the wall
[01:12.26] Well, maybe it's all just part of the plan
[01:16.94] Tomorrow will come
[01:19.99] Today will be gone
[01:23.74] And so I put one foot in front of the other
[01:27.89] One foot in front of the other
[01:31.13] And just keep walking on
[01:39.45] If that's what it is
[01:41.48] (If that's what it is)
[01:43.26] What also is true
[01:45.13] (What also is true)
[01:46.34] Is it may not always be disaster
[01:52.79] I realize that now it is
[01:55.85] But how it is
[01:57.35] Isn't how it's got to be
[02:00.07] Another day comes
[02:03.02] Another day goes
[02:06.02] And if I get teased or hurt
[02:08.52] Or lied to or punched in the nose
[02:12.65] I say, "I won't cry"
[02:16.26] I cry until dawn
[02:19.52] And then I put one foot in front of the other
[02:23.52] One foot in front of the other
[02:27.34] And just keep walking on
[02:36.52] I'm becoming a man
[02:43.27] Maybe all that it means is I face the world for what it is
[02:53.53] And not what I wish it would be
[03:02.33] I'm becoming a man
[03:08.74] Watching everything fall into place
[03:14.39] I swing, I miss
[03:17.45] I'll get through this
[03:20.59] I almost guarantee
[03:27.75] One day I'll be thirty
[03:30.80] One day I'll be fine
[03:33.88] One day I'll make fun of this dramatic life of mine
[03:40.38] One day I'll be older
[03:43.29] And then I'll write a book
[03:45.71] About the choices that I made
[03:48.84] (The choices that you made)
[03:51.67] And the chances that I took
[03:55.07] (The chances that you)
[03:59.17] If that's what it is
[04:02.32] Then that's what it is
[04:05.84] At least until Disney can rewrite it
[04:12.32] We put on our shoes and socks
[04:14.98] And take the knocks
[04:16.71] And wish that it would change
[04:19.05] And maybe it will
[04:22.09] And maybe it can
[04:25.03] Until then
[04:26.40] You trust that all this is just, "becoming a man"
[04:31.55] You take your best shot
[04:34.97] 'Cause look what you got!
[04:40.81] Go on and put one foot in front of the other
[04:45.69] One foot in front of the other
[04:48.47] One foot in front of the other
[04:51.59] One foot in front of the other
[04:54.32] The crip, the geek, the Jew and his mother
[04:59.01] And just keep walking on
[05:05.02]
[00:14.90] Then that's what it is
[00:17.88] You're probably right to just forget it
[00:24.26] Let's face it, you've worked so hard
[00:27.04] And now you're scarred
[00:28.91] And free of any hope
