Thomas Borchert - The Man I Used To Be lyrics

[Edmond] 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 Albert still lives Whatever else I've done Forever in his eyes, she'll see The man that I used to be And all the years will melt away And nights 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 mercy full of sweet redemption [?] Once blind, now I see Once a slave, I'm free Give me a star To homeward guide my heart To resurrect a part of me The man who I used to be
