In my youth I was enchanted

Took the good, good life for granted

Thought the better things were handed out for free

But since then I've learned that living

Does require a bit of giving

And some things that I'd been missing now I see



And there was a time when I was slow

To lend a helping hand

I'm not perfect

But I've learned alot since then



There were times when I thought surely

I'd find riches in a hurry

And become the judge and jury of my time

And the life I thought so splendid

Turned before me to be mended

Placing realms where I intended not to climb



And the world that used to fall in step

Beneath my guiding hands

Is still turning

But it's changed alot since then



Since then (Since then) I've made a new way

Since then (Since then) I've found a new day

Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound

Have been (Have been) unshaclked (un-bound)

Since when my pride was always pushing me

To be a bigger man

I'm still trying and I've learned alot since then
