That's The Way It Is
I can read your mind 
And I know your story 
I see what you're going through (yeah) 
It's an uphill climb 
And I'm feeling sorry 
But I know it will come to you 
Don't surrender 
'Cause you can win 
In this thing called love 
When you want it the most 
There's no easy way out 
When you're ready to go 
And your heart's left in doubt 
Don't give up on your faith 
Love comes to those who believe it 
And that's the way it is 
When you question me 
For a simple answer 
I don't know what to say (no) 
But it's plain to see 
If you stick together 
You're gonna find the way 
So don't surrender 
'Cause you can win 
In this thing called love 

Chorus 

When life is empty 
With no tomorrow 
And loneliness starts to call 
Baby don't worry 
Forget your sorrow 
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all 

(M. Martin / Kristian Lundin / A. Carlsson)
