Jo Dee Messina ~ That's The Way It Is


Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a winding road I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear blue sky And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound 'Til something else knocks me down Chorus: Oh and that's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches Oh and that's the way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows You live, you learn You crash, you burn And that's the way it is One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallen in love He's just what you're looking for, the only problem is that the man's not sure Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think, then you get what you need Chorus: Oh and that's the way it is You gotta roll with the punches Oh and that's the way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows You live, you learn You crash, you burn And that's the way it is Yea They say your soul is growing But sometimes I feel like throwing something And that's they way it is You gotta roll with the punches And that's they way it goes You gotta bend when the wind blows Repeat chorus more free lyrics

Everybody wants an easy ride on the merry-go-round that we call life
Take a drive on cruise control, then you wake to find it's a winding road
I had my dreams in view when the money ran out and the engine blew
Hung my tears out to dry, then my dreams fell outta the clear blue sky
And I, I was walking in the clouds feeling so safe and sound
'Til something else knocks me down
Chorus:
Oh and that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
Oh and that's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
And that's the way it is

One fine day you wake up, completely, hopelessly fallen in love
He's just what you're looking for, the only problem is that the man's not sure
Another guy will give you everything, the only problem is you don't feel a thing
Well I know from experience, nothing's ever gonna make perfect sense
Oh, one day you get what you want, but it's not what you think, then you get what you need

Chorus:
Oh and that's the way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
Oh and that's the way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows
You live, you learn
You crash, you burn
And that's the way it is

Yea
They say your soul is growing
But sometimes I feel like throwing something
And that's they way it is
You gotta roll with the punches
And that's they way it goes
You gotta bend when the wind blows

Repeat chorus

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
