I TOOK MY FIRST STEP
ON THE BLACK AND
WHITE KITCHEN FLOOR
I SOMETIMES WONDER IF
THAT HOUSE
IS EVEN THERE ANYMORE
I HAD MY FIRST GLIMPSE
OF LOVE
WHEN I WAS FIVE
I WATCHED TWO PEOPLE
SPLIT APART
BUT STILL THE THREE
OF US SURVIVED
I'VE SEEN THE BEST
I'VE SEEN THE WORST
I WOULDN'T CHANGE
WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH
I'VE TOUCHED THE SKY
I HIT THE WALL
BUT I DID WHAT I HAD TO
ON MY WAY HERE
WHERE I AM NOW
I'VE LEARNED TO FLY
I HAVE TO WANT
TO LEAVE THE GROUND
I'VE FALLEN HARD
BUT I'VE BEEN LOVED
AND IN THE END
IT ALL WORKS OUT
FAITH HAS CONQUERED
FEAR
ON MY WAY HERE
4 BAR
BREAK
MY ADDRESS
HAS CHANGED
ALMOST EVERY YEAR
I'VE FOUND THAT
STANDING STILL
CAN QUICKLY MAKE
A LIFETIME DISAPPEAR
I'D RATHER TRY AND FAIL
A THOUSAND TIMES
DENIED
AT LEAST WHENEVER
YOU FEEL PAIN
IT LETS YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE ALIVE
I'VE BEEN A FOOL
I'VE BEEN AFRAID
I'VE BEEN LOVED
I'VE BEEN LIED TO
I'VE BEEN WRONGED
I'VE BEEN RIGHT
I STOOD UP
WHEN I HAD TO
ON MY WAY HERE
WHERE I AM NOW
I'VE LEARNED TO FLY
I HAVE TO WANT
TO LEAVE THE GROUND
I'VE FALLEN HARD
BUT I'VE BEEN LOVED
AND IN THE END
IT ALL WORKS OUT
FAITH HAS CONQUERED
FEAR
ON MY WAY HERE
NO GUARANTEES
I BELIEVED
THAT I WOULD FIND
AN OPEN DOOR
OR A LIGHT
TO LEAD ME
TO THE OTHER SIDE
I GUESS THAT IS WHY
ON MY WAY HERE
WHERE I AM NOW
I LEARNED TO FLY
I HAVE TO WANT
TO LEAVE THE GROUND
I'VE FALLEN HARD
BUT I'VE BEEN LOVED
AND IN THE END
IT ALL WORKS OUT
WHERE I AM NOW
I'VE LEARNED TO FLY
I HAVE TO WANT
TO LEAVE THE GROUND
