This was written by a man who I came to deeply empathize with and got to know when I was going through my own loss and pain. He lost his wife and 20 year old daughter within a year..
How it Is
--------------
By Neil Peart(Rush)
Here's a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today's as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
giving way to resignation
That's how it is - how it's going to beIt's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
Or feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment -
the lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be
Here's a little trap
That sometimes trips up everyone
When we tire of our own company
Sometimes we're the last to see beyond the day's frustrations
That's how it is - how it's going to beIt's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
I feel the day is all uncertainty
Burning in the moment - trapped by the desperation
Between how it is and how it ought to beFoot upon the stair
Shoulder to the wheel
You can't tell yourself not to care
You can't tell yourself how to feelThat's how it is
Another cloudy day
