It was so easy when I was young
My fingers slipped over keys and told
Stories of songs that were still unsung
I wrapped my heart in each word from you
You were the light in the tunnel that
Led to the path I was headed to
But time will make you forget
All your "meant to be's"
Living your life by what the outside sees
And I've been gone for so long
So I'm letting you know
I'm letting you see
Just what's become
Of the woman you helped me to be
And I'm running my race
My face to the wind
Circling back to the place
Where you helped me begin
But this time, I'll all in
I thought my heart and my soul were gone
As though you left me alone with
No rhyme and no reason to carry on
So I got lost in the maddening crowd
And through the chaos around me
My heart was still longing to sing out loud
And all the scenes in my life
They came back to me
All stitched together like a tapestry
And I've been gone for too long
So I'm letting you know
I'm letting you see
Just what's become
Of the woman you helped me to be
And I'm running my race
My face to the wind
Circling back to the place
Where you helped me begin
And this time, I'm all in
This time, I'm all in
