That's the Way It Is
Daniel Roland Lanois, Rocco S De Luca
The many miles we walked
The many things we learned
The building of a shrine
Only just to burn
May the wind be at your back
Good fortune touch your hand
May the cards lay out a straight
All from your command
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Trusts the journey to new heights
What's the meaning of the scar
If we don't learn how to heal
Should we ever be apart
Then how does it feel
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Shine light into darkness
Shine light into darkness
That's the way it is
That's the way it is (so many miles to walk)
That's the way it is (so many things we've got to lean)
That's the way it is (oh, that's the way it is)
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
The many miles we walked
Las muchas millas que caminamos
The many things we learned
Las muchas cosas que aprendimos
The building of a shrine
La construcción de un santuario
Only just to burn
Solo para quemar
May the wind be at your back
Que el viento esté a tu espalda
Good fortune touch your hand
Que la buena fortuna toque tu mano
May the cards lay out a straight
Que las cartas muestren un camino recto
All from your command
Todo a tu mando
That's the way it is
Así es como es
That's the way it is
Así es como es
That's the way it is
Así es como es
That's the way it is
Así es como es
Blue heron leaves the northern sky

What's the meaning of the scar
