Someone once told me
She was once like me
In her youth when she had plenty of time
She then looked at me and she said quietly
Time has passed and she feels she is worn out
When she looked at me
She showed them to me
All the parts of her that are now worn out
She then looked at me and she said quietly
Time has passed and she feels she is worn out
The wise woman said that wise men will see
Your life's beauty and strength through what's worn out
She then looked at me and she said quietly
To be loved by one who loves what's worn out
Someone once told me
She was once like me
In her youth when she had plenty of time
She said life will wear things out
Soon, you'll see that too
All that felt so beautiful will fade away too
And she looked into my eyes with her wiser eyes
And said that I will realize they're my battle wounds
The wise woman said that wise one will see
Her life's beauty and strength through what's worn out
She then looked at me and she said quietly
To be strong enough to love what's worn out
She said life will wear things out
Soon, you'll see that too
All that felt so beautiful will fade away too
And she looked into my eyes with her wiser eyes
And said that I will realize they're my battle wounds
Someone once told me
She was once like me
In her youth when she had plenty of time
