So Be It! Lyrics

It's been a while
Since I made my decision
Got to this conclusion
But I still can't realise
Got to open my eyes
Got to open my eyes

Now it's getting too close
I don't feel ready to lose
My current life
Tomorrow I'll become a father

Farewell!
Present is now turning to past,
My time's just run out too fast
"Not responsible"
Keep that picture in your mind
I can't be young forever
I can't be young forever
So be it

Now it's getting too close
I don't feel ready to lose
My current life
Tomorrow I'll become a father

So be it
A gate opening to a totally different life from now on
Tomorrow I will cherish my own child
My very first son

So be it
How could this new life not be worth while?
Now it's getting too close
I don't feel ready to close
My current
Tomorrow I'll become a father
Tomorrow I'l become an "elder"
This new life, this new life
As fascinating as scary,
His new life's been made for me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
