I've seen a thousand wonders
I've lived a hundred lifetimes
But not until this moment
Have miracles seemed real
As fleeting as a shadow
The time goes by unnoticed
The hate that drove me forward
Is gone and I am face to face with...
The man I used to be
Dreams I dared to dream
When love was all
The innocence of youth
Like memories of truth return
To learn forgiveness
The man I used to be
Cannot be outrun
Our past still lives
Whatever else I've done
Forever in his eyes, he'll see
The man that I used to be
And all the years will melt away
And lights will fall much softer now
For all the pain is gone
Hope is what moves on
I will be there
As near as her next prayer
As merciful as sweet redemption
Once blind, now I see
Once a slave and free
Give me a star
To home would guide my heart
To resurrect a part of me
The man who I used to be
