If that's what it is Then that's what it is You're probably right to just forget it Lets face it you've worked so hard and now you're scarred And free of any hope I guess you should mope Forget what you've planned Hey, I understand If that's what it is Then that's what it is Though that's not the way I choose to see it I have my own view that works with all these jerks and unenlightened fools I make my own rules, I do what I can If I hit the wall then maybe its all a part of the plan Tomorrow will come, today will be gone And so I put one foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other And just keep walking on If that's what it is If that's what it is What also is true What also is true Is it may not always be disaster I realize that now it is but how it is Isn't how its got be Another day comes, another day goes And if I get teased or hurt or lied to or punched in the nose I say I wont cry I cry until dawn And then I put one foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other And just keep walking on I'm becoming a man Maybe all that it means is I face the world for what it is And not what I wish it could be I'm becoming a man Wanting everything fall into place I swing, I miss I'll get through this I almost guarantee One day I'll be thirty One day I'll be fine One day I'll make fun of this dramatic life of mine One day I'll be older And then I'll write a book About the choices that I made The choices that you made And the chances that I took The chances that you-- If that's what it is Then that's what it is At least until Disney can re-write it We put our shoes and socks and take the knocks And wish that it would change And maybe it will And maybe it can Until then you trust that all this is just becoming a man You take your best shot Cause look what you've got Go on and put one foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other One foot in front of the other The crip, the geek, the jew and his mother And just keep walking on
