WHEN IT STARTED, IT HAD TO END
CAN'T MAKE IT BETTER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SPEND
IT DOESN'T MATTER, WE CAN'T PRETEND
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN & AGAIN
NEW DAY IS DAWNING, IT BEGINS
STARTED SO SIMPLE BUT NOW IT BENDS

I CAN'T STAY, I NEED TO GO
WHAT YOU SEE IS, WHAT YOU KNOW IS

RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE
IS ALL THAT IT IS
WE LIE, WE TRY, IT'S ALL WE CAN GIVE
THE PAIN, THE SHAME, WE CANNOT FORGIVE
BELIEVE, DECEIVE, WE GRIEVE,
DON'T BE NAIVE
IT IS WHAT IT IS

I SPEAK MY MIND & YOU TELL ME TO BE QUIET
STARTED SCREAMING THERE'S GONNA BE A RIOT
THE HEAT IS ON, I TURN IT UP A BIT
BURN IT DOWN, NO MATTER WHO IT BENEFITS
I SPEAK THE TRUTH, CALL ME A HYPOCRITE
BUT DID YOU KNOW MY CONSCIOUSNESS IS INFINITE

WITH THIS SEED MY THOUGHTS WILL GROW
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS

RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE

IS ALL THAT IT IS
WE LIE, WE TRY, IT'S ALL WE CAN GIVE
THE PAIN, THE SHAME, WE CANNOT FORGIVE
BELIEVE, DECEIVE, WE GRIEVE,
DON'T BE NAIVE
IT IS WHAT IT IS

IT IS WHAT IT IS

WHAT YOU REAP IS WHAT YOU SOW
WHAT I AM IS, WHAT I KNOW IS
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE
IS ALL THAT IT IS
WE LIE, WE TRY, IT'S ALL WE CAN GIVE
THE PAIN, THE SHAME, WE CANNOT FORGIVE
BELIEVE, DECEIVE, WE GRIEVE,
DON'T BE NAIVE
IT IS WHAT IT IS

IT IS WHAT IT IS
WELL IT IS WHAT IT IS
IT IS WHAT IT IS
