i m just a student of this life just like my father and i am a stranger to this heart just like my mother oh and brother you should know that this heart s still filled with sadness and regret but i m learning as i go to forgive the things that i just can t forget sometimes this heart is made of glass and i often find myself living only in the past thinking mostly of myself but i ll believe you when you say that these are things that time can heal and this beating in my heart says this love we have is real and all of these wishes i once lost are now returning and all of the demons i have fought are slowly turning oh and brother you should know that there is no one in this world who feels no pain but i m learning as i go to accept the things that i ve no power to change all of these streets are heading out and this old song s no longer blue and although nothing s figured out it looks like we ve both made it through if there were one thing i could ask i would ask you where you ve been cause i still wonder where you were when this whole big ship sank in
