The Man I Used To Be

This is a story of the man I used to be.
This is a sentimental piece of history.
How did I do it?
How did I ever find the time?

This is a song of all the faces that I've known.
This is a song about that
long and winding road.
How did we do it?
Where did I ever find the time...

...to find the light behind those very eyes
I tried to hide, but underneath it all
the loser has to fall, so tell me can't you see
the man I used to be?

This is a story of the lessons that I've learned.
This is a song about the winds
and how they turn.
When will I get there?
Where will I ever find the time...

...to find the light behind those very eyes
I tried to hide, but underneath it all
the loser has to fall, so tell me can't you see
the man I used to be?

Don't let yourself go. Nobody knows if your
mind over matter's telling you: No!
What can you do when you're a
fool to believe you must follow
what will follow?

When I was younger
they were holding me down.
Voices would holler:
"Keep your feet on the ground!"
But I'm older now, yes I am.
I am bigger and better and stronger
and man, there's a whole world for me
to demand and it's never too late
to be taking a stand.
So, I'll be right here where I am.

This is a story of the man I used to be.
This is a song about an everlasting dream.
When will I do it?
Where will I ever find the time...

...to find the light behind those very eyes
I tried to hide but underneath it all
the loser has to fall.
And, so the story goes and tell me,
can't you see a different side of me?
The man I used to be...
