Lyrics: I remember searching, watching, waiting For the end of days to come Thinking God had made me something special For living on the run I remember when I moved out, moved on With nothing good to say to you, ooh Now I'm just a little older, kinder My bitter days are through Even when your bag is empty Even when your ego's bruised I will never come down swinging I still want the best for you
