That’s How It Goes

When I woke up this morning

I saw the sun was shining in my door

I opened up my eyes and saw

I did not have to worry anymore

I'm going to let a little secret slip

It's not the destination' it's the trip

It's the moss you gather while you roll

Don't you know' that's how it goes

You've got to stop' look and listen

The message that you're getting is clear

You can't wait for Christmas

It's Christmas every day of the year

So count your blessings one by one

Welcome every rising sun

'Cause pretty soon your race is run

Don't you know' that's how it goes

I help you and you help me

That's the way the world should be

Tit for tat and give and take

Just be good for goodness sake

I'll pick you up if you should fall

It works both ways if it works at all

Hold in your heart the people you love

Always thank the powers above

Everyone deserves a share

So keep your promise' fair is fair

So gather 'round me people

And help me while I sing this song

I'd rather have you with me

Together as we travel along

It's the feeling of the wind in your face

The sound of the music they play

The friends you make along the way

Don't you know' that's how it goes

Don't you know' that's how it goes

Just so you know' that's how it goes
