[Verse 1]
I know the road you know ain't quite the way you planned it
But the twists and turns are all part of the magic
And believe me, you'll get through it
You'll see
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know much, but in life, there's all these reasons
And beauty lies in the young child, that's believing
You know love is all we really need
To breathe
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Bridge]
Oh, it'll pass you by so fast
So don't let it go
'Cause only love will last
Long after we've gone
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Outro]
Oh-oh, life as we know it
Life as we know it
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa-oh
I know the road you know ain't quite the way you planned it
But the twists and turns are all part of the magic
And believe me, you'll get through it
You'll see
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know much, but in life, there's all these reasons
And beauty lies in the young child, that's believing
You know love is all we really need
To breathe
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Bridge]
Oh, it'll pass you by so fast
So don't let it go
'Cause only love will last
Long after we've gone
[Chorus]
So don't be afraid
Of the things you cannot change
As the sun surely follows the rain
I believe that you can't try to lead or control it
'Cause that's just life as we know it
[Outro]
Oh-oh, life as we know it
Life as we know it
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa-oh
