I can tell by this crack of light 

Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day 

And I can tell by this stretch of silver 

Spreading all out across the curves of your face 



And for the love, for the love of God 

I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone 

And in a world that broke me down 

I'm standing up, but not alone 



'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails 

But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil 

This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell 

But love is pushing me along 

I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail 



I can smell the summer in the air 

And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul 

Son, I know that it don't seem fair 

But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home 



I've got friends here that love me 

I've got all this mercy beating in my blood 

And I've got friends here that love me 

And that's something good, that's something good 



You and I, we've come so far 

We've come so far, we cannot look back 

I said you and I, we've come so far 

We've come so far, we cannot look back 



I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) 

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 

We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back) 



I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) 

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 

No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back)
