I've been held up,   I've been run down   I can see quite clearly now   Through those past years,   When I played towing the line.   I only ask, that what I feel,   Should not be denied me now,   As it's been earned, and   I have seen my life belongs to me   My love belongs to who can see it      I've lived in fear,   I've been out there,   I've been 'round and   Seen my share   Of this sad world   And all the hate,   That it's stirred   I only ask,   That what I know,   Should not be denied me now   As it's been learned,   And I have seen my life belongs to me   My love belongs to who can see it      I only ask, that what I feel,   Should not be denied me now   As it's been earned, and   I have seen my life belongs to me      My love belongs to who can see it.      My love belongs to who . . .
