Nelson - Is That How It Is? Lyrics
At a crossroads in london as the winter winds whipped through my hairI noticed everyone stared at the ground and passed by like I wasnt thereI watched lonely people keep all to themselves full of fear in the worlds they had madeI swore then that Id make a difference I promised that Id make a changeIs that how it is?Is that how it is, baby, with you?Is that how you want it to be?cause thats how it is with meAs I walked past a churchyard an old man on his knees in the streetSaid, son, do you think you could help me? cause Im cold and Id like something to eat.But I could tell by the look in his eyes that he also needed a friendSo I smiled and I sat down beside him and he wept as I held his handIs that how it is?Is that how it is, baby, with you?Is that how you want it to be?cause thats how it is with meIn the dark of night when youre feeling that theres no hope in sightDo you dream of the world that we could make if wed all just give instead of take?We can open our hearts for our childrens sakeWe can turn things around before its too lateBaby, thats how it is with meDo you wish to see the day when our love will set us free and together we all can live in peace?Do you keep your faith when others just shake their heads and say that people will always stay the same?Does your heart begin to break when you think of the world that we could make if wed all just give instead of take?In the dark of night when youre feeling that theres no hope in sight do you dream someday soon well see the light?
