The Way Things Are lyrics

When I try to understand What I'm for and what I am I get so bummed out It's beyond my grasp But there are things I use every day I don't know how they work Or how they're made I use them anyway Without thought and without praise Oh, fire You filled my body I felt you come I'll feel you go When you say "It's time" And when I'm laughing With all my friends It's the happiest I ever am I know they're for me I know I'm for them Oh, fire You're bigger than me So I will surrender And I will accept The way things are Oh, fire, when you are done with me There will be ash And there will be dust And there will be life
