Since Then

(album: Innerview - 1972)

In my youth I was enchanted
Took the good, good life for granted
Thought the better things were handed out for free
But since then I've learned that living
Does require a bit of giving
And some things that I'd been missing now I see

And there was a time when I was slow
To lend a helping hand
I'm not perfect
But I've learned alot since then

There were times when I thought surely
I'd find riches in a hurry
And become the judge and jury of my time
And the life I thought so splendid
Turned before me to be mended
Placing realms where I intended not to climb

And the world that used to fall in step
Beneath my guiding hands
Is still turning
But it's changed alot since then

Since then (Since then) I've made a new way
Since then (Since then) I've found a new day
Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound
Have been (Have been) unshaclked (un-bound)
Since when my pride was always pushing me
To be a bigger man
I'm still trying and I've learned alot since then

Since then (Since then) I've made a new way
Since then (Since then) I've found a new day
Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound
Have been (Have been) unshaclked (un-bound)
Since when my pride was always pushing me
To be a bigger man
I'm still trying and I've learned alot since then
I'm still trying and I've learned alot since the
