In my youth |
|
I was enchanted |
|
Took the good, good life for granted |
|
Thought the better things were handed out for free |
|
But since then |
|
I've learned that living |
|
Does require a bit of giving |
|
And some things that |
|
I'd been missing now |
|
I see And there was a time when |
|
I was slow |
|
To lend a helping hand |
|
I'm not perfect |
|
But I've learned alot since then |
|
There were times when |
|
I thought surely |
|
I'd find riches in a hurry |
|
And become the judge and jury of my time |
|
And the life |
|
I thought so splendid |
|
Turned before me to be mended |
|
Placing realms where |
|
I intended not to climb |
|
And the world that used to fall in step |
|
Beneath my guiding hands |
|
Is still turning |
|
But it's changed alot since then |
|
Since then (Since then) |
|
I've made a new way |
|
Since then (Since then) |
|
I've found a new day |
|
Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound |
|
Have been (Have been) unshaclked (un-bound) |
|
Since when my pride was always pushing me |
|
To be a bigger man |
|
I'm still trying and |
|
I've learned alot since then |
|
Since then (Since then) |
