I'm just a student of this life, just like my father 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 All of the demons, i have fought, are slowly turning Oh, and brother you should know There is no one in this world who feels no pain And 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 song's no longer blue And although nothing's figured out 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
