I know what it's like to be loved, to be loved I know how well it feels I know what it's like to have someone to love To share the air they breathe And I know what it's like when they leave I know what it's like to be young, to be young I know what it's like to be free I know what it's like to be out in front I know how it feels to climb trees And drop like falling leaves I know what it's like to be hurt, to be hurt I know what it's like to bleed I know what it's like to be misunderstood And know the truth concealed I know how Joseph feels I know what it's like to be lost, to be lost Crying in the swirling crowd I know what it's like when a hand comes down And lifts me off the ground I know what it's like to be found Turning pages, ticking time Wondering what's on my mind I was learning long ago You were teaching me to know I know what it's like to believe, to believe When nothing else looks real I know what it's like not to feel alone When I hear You speak I know how good it feels
