It Is What It Is

[Explosive Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] Well, it is what it is, no matter what you say Some things you can’t run from, they don’t just fade away I held the line as long as I could stand But life don’t always deal a steady hand [Guitar Hit] [Verse 2] I gave my time, gave more than I should I thought doing right would make me feel good But the world don’t always play fair or kind Still, I keep my soul, won’t let ’em take my mind [Chorus] It is what it is, I’ve cried all my tears Lost some pieces I carried for years Found some light in the darkest place Leaning on God’s mercy and grace [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Home ain't a place, it's the hearts that stay Even when the walls and the floors fall away My roots ain’t tied to a patch of ground They’re in the ones that stuck around [Guitar Hit] [Bridge] Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m scarred But I’ve come this far, and I wear it hard Truth ain’t pretty, but it’s mine to give And I’m still here, I still choose to live [Chorus] It is what it is, and maybe that’s okay I’ve learned to breathe through the hardest days The past don’t own me, the pain don’t win This heart’s got room to start again [Guitar Solo] [Outro] So I’ll take a breath, leave the past behind No more looking back, there’s nothing to find I’ve paid my dues, every debt’s been paid I’m walking through life, and I’m not afraid [] [Guitar Ending}
