Looking back I can see
The bigger picture in front of me
At the time I was so low
Couldn’t tell which way to go
Some folks tried to tell me
What it is I need to be
They spoke of what they know is true
Because they had gone through it too
It is what it is, it is what it is
One thing that I know now
It is what it is
At the time I couldn’t hear
Their words were falling on deaf ears
Wisdom can be only learned
Through the experience earned
I cannot change the past
And I cannot always have my way
I take the good and the bad
And let it all fly away
It is what it is, it is what it is
One thing that I know now
It is what it is
