Walked around with my vision blurred All the wrong things seen or heard Now the answers have appeared. Now the sun shines on my face Misery has been replaced by the miracle of all you mean to me Solitude has found a friend A love to give and not to lend We can raise our hands so high Touch the moon Touch the stars Touch the sky Nothing's how it used to be You're not you and I'm not me We've run through an open door A prisoner I am no more Say goodbye to yesterday And we are finally on our way Open up your eyes and see That nothing's how..... It used to be. I can feel the rain subside i can face what I've denied A song of freedom in my head I can see a glimpse of hope now I feel that I can cope Forget what fools have said Now the sun is on your face Welcome to the human race. Embrace all the things you couldn't feel. Keep the false friends far from me Eaten up with jealousy We can lift our hands so high Touch the moon Touch the stars Touch the sky. Nothing's how it used to be You're not you and I'm not me We've run through an open door A prisoner I am no more Say goodbye to yesterday We are finally on our way Open up your eyes and see That nothing's how..... It used to be Mitch Hiller
