Ain't that the way   Whenever you think you've got it made   Everything changes on you   Ain't that the way   Nothing is stranger than the truth   And how it comes to you   Ain't that the way      In this life we are living   Moment to moment, day by day   And through all our tribulations   We reach out for each other   And if we're lucky, someone cares enough to say      Ain't that the way   Whenever you think you're in control   Everything turns around   Ain't that the way   One day you're flying   Next day you're on the ground   Ain't that the way      So it goes   You never know what's gonna happen   You never know, but something always does   And sometimes in quiet desperation   You realize it's never gonna be the way it was      Ain't that the way   Whenever you think you've got it all   There's a wall in front of you   Ain't that the way   You gotta go through it, it's life   And it's all okay   Ain't that the way
