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      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
