I can tell by this crack of light
oh girl this is gonna be,
it's gonna be a beautiful day
and i can tell by this stretch of silver
spreading all out across the curves of your face
And for the love, for the love of god
i've gathered up my pride,
i've gathered up my bits and bone
and in a world that broke me down
i'm standing up, but not alone
'cause this is a healing song, oh
and i've got a heart that fails
but love is pushing me along,
i'm lifting up above this veil
this is a healing song, oh
and i don't know if you can tell
but love is pushing me along
i'm pressing up against the rail,
pressing up against the rail
I can smell the summer in the air
and i swear i can almost see,
i can almost see my soul
son, i know that it don't seem fair
but i'm turning away from here,
and oh lord, i am coming home
I've got friends here that love me
i've got all this mercy beating in my blood
and i've got friends here that love me
and that's something good,
that's something good
You and i, we've come so far
we've come so far, we cannot look back
i said you and i, we've come so far
we've come so far, we cannot look back
I said you and i (you and i, we've come so far)
we've come so far (you and i, we've come so far)
we've come so far (you and i, we've come so far)
we cannot look back (you and i cannot look back)
I said you and i (you and i, we've come so far)
we've come so far (you and i, we've come so far)
we've come so far (you and i, we've come so far)
no, we cannot look back (we cannot look back)
