These are the way things are

We have no power to change them

They are what they are

A loser loses

A winner wins

A person dies

A person is born

A love is lost

A love is found

A person aces

A person fails

Someone cries

Another laughs

Someone stands up

Another falls

Someone gets promoted

Another gets fired

A song is loved

A song is hated

A person is beautiful

Another is not

These are the way things are

We have no power to change them

They are what they are
