That's the Way It Is - Céline Dion

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 It 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 learn) That's the way it is (oh-oh, that's the way it is) That's the way it is (oh) That's the way it is

Operator, oh could you help me place this call? You see, the number on the matchbook is old and faded He's living in L.A. With my best old ex-friend, Ray A girl, he said he knew well and sometimes hated Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine And to show I overcome the blow I learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels Operator, could you help me place this call? 'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me There's something in my eyes You know it happens every time I think about a love that I thought would save me But isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine And to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels No, no, no That's not the way it feels Operator, oh let's forget about this call There's no one there I really wanted to talk to Thank you for your time Ah, you've been so much more than kind You can keep the dime But isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it So I can call just to tell 'em I'm fine And to show I've overcome the blow I've learned to take it well I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real But that's not the way it feels No, no, no That's not the way it feels No, no, oh-no

It wasn't the valley of death I was working in It was the valley of confusion For many years Different religions, different beliefs Undermining my culture Looking down upon my tradition Making fun of my language Telling my children, they have no God Finally I can tell them about Shembe is the way Oh Shembe Shembe (thank you for showing us the way) Nobunazaretha Oh Shembe Shembe (thank you for healing my people) Nobunazaretha Oh Shembe Shembe (thank you for showing us the way) Nobunazaretha Finally, I can tell the world, oh That Shembe is the way Finally, I can tell them what I know Shembe is the way I hear them shouting amen At the top of the mountain I hear them shouting uyingowele At the top of the mountain No one will undermine my religion No one will undermine my culture anymore 'Cause God sent him from above To be with the people Bring them back to what is their own Take them back to the ways of our forefathers Ehhh Finally I can tell generations to generations Shembe is the way Oh Shembe Shembe (thank you for healing my people) Nobunazaretha Oh Shembe Shembe, ciagonama Nobunazaretha Oh Shembe Shembe (thank you for showing us the way) Nobunazaretha Ehh You are looking at me, I'm looking at you But we both know, Shembe is the way Uh

Shrunk all my clothes in the washing machine Running on two or three hours of sleep (Clearly) There's a light flashing in my car, I don't know what it means You know what I mean?
