Bricks and mortar do not make a home
It is the love that lives within it
That makes you call it home
Thatâ??s the way things are
Being a friend is about being there
When your friend is needs someone to talk to
To share her feelings
Thatâ??s the way things are
You can choose your friends
But you cannot choose your family
So choose your friends carefully
Thatâ??s the way things are
Having a sister isnâ??t to argue with
You can share your problems
And secrets with her too
Thatâ??s the way things are
You may argue with your brother
But you love him really
And Iâ??m sure he loves you too
Thatâ??s the way things are
Life may be unfair
And it might chuck stuff back into your face
But youâ??ve got to learn from your mistakes
Iâ??m sorry, but thatâ??s the way things are
