Lyrics
As It Must Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe we'll come out of this
Maybe we'll come out of this unscathed
Just like the story said
Ever after we shall be okay
I know that you don't know where we go when we go
I know that it's hard so we can't go alone
Let it run right over you
Let it run like water to the sea
Nothing lasts forever darling
Everything is as it must be
I know that you'd never let me go on my own
I know that I'll never make it alone
Look at your reflection
Casting your own image in the stream
Though it moves right through you
Something of you soul remains within
