Lyrics by Sarah Jacob
THIS IS WHAT IT IS
Verse 1
At first I was disappointed
But then I had to pause
As I watched you saw away
At our umbilical chord
At first I was saddened
But now I can see
You could be so very bad for me.
Chorus
And this is what it is
This is how it has to be
In the final analysis
I believe in synchronicity
And this is how it is
This is how it has to be
And in the end, it’s a journey
Toward peace and integrity
Verse 2
Love is a challenge
Love it is an art
And love deserves the conviction
Of an unbroken heart
We have knowledge of matter
We have knowledge of ideas
But it’s only self knowledge
That can free us while we are here.
This is what it is
This is how it has to be.
Verse 3
Ain’t it funny how we think we can recover
From all the lessons of our fathers and our mothers
Deep inside they haunt us, but we have to let them go
If we will be, who we want to be
In life and love you know.
If we will be, who we want to be
In life and love you know.
If we will be, who we want to be
In life and in love you know.
Chorus repeat
