I've seen a thousand wonders
I've lived a hundred lifetimes
But not until this moment
Have miracle seemed real
As fleeting as shadow
The time goes by unnoticed
The hate that drove me forward
Is gone and I am face to face with
The man I used to be
Dreams I dared to dream
When love was all
The innocence of youth
Like memories of truth return
To learn forgiveness
The man I used to be
Cannot be outrun
I'll best still live whatever else I've done
Forever in his eyes she'll see
The man that I used to be
And all the hiss will melt away
And knives will fall by softer now
For all the pain is gone
Hope is what moves on
I will be there
As near as her next prayer
As mercy for our sweet retention
Once blind now I see
Once a slave and free
Give me your star
To homework at my heart
To resurrect a part of me
The man who I used to be
