That's The Way It Is

Zo is het

That's The Way It Is

De vele mijlen die we liepenThe many miles we walked
De vele dingen die we leerdenThe many things we learned

De bouw van een heiligdomThe building of a shrine
Alleen maar om te verbrandenOnly just to burn
Moge de wind je in de rug zijnMay the wind be at your back
Geluk je hand aanrakenGood fortune touch your hand
Moge de kaarten recht liggenMay the cards lay out a-straight
Allemaal op jouw bevelAll from your command

Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is

Blauwe reiger verlaat de noordelijke luchtBlue heron leaves the northern sky
Hij vertrouwt de reis naar nieuwe hoogtesIt trusts the journey to new heights
Wat is de betekenis van het littekenWhat's the meaning of the scar
Als we niet leren hoe te genezen?If we don't learn how to heal?
Moeten we ooit uit elkaar gaan?Should we ever be apart?
Hoe voelt dat dan?Then how does it feel?

Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
Zo is hetThat's the way it is

Laat licht schijnen in de duisternisShine light into darkness

Zo is het (ik weet het)That's the way it is (I know)
Zo is het (zoveel mijlen te lopen)That's the way it is (So many miles to walk)
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
(zoveel dingen die we moeten leren)(So many things we've got to learn)
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
(je gaat huilen, dat weet ik)(You're gonna be made to cry)
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
(geef niet op, je geeft het niet op)(Don't give give up, you don't give it up)
Zo is hetThat's the way it is
