When you’ve been around
Like I’ve been around
You tend to see
Things differently
When you’ve been down
Like I’ve been down
You start again
More carefully
It’s all right there before you
The sages simply state it
We’re the ones who go and
Complicate it
When you’re all alone
Like I was alone
You face the truth
Within yourself
And when you’re on your own
I was on my own
You get it’s you and
No one else
Who knows how to define you
And let’s your heart refine you
With shadows to remind you
Of how far you’ve come
And how far you’ll go...
When you lost love like
I lost love
You learn to treat it preciously
So when you found love like
I found love
You hold it close
And graciously
Cause someone’s there beside you
Spreading light around you
With shadows to remind you
How far you’ve come
How far you’ve come
And how far you’ll go...
