I've been all the way down this lonely road
I stumbled and lost my way
I'm sure you know
A body grows weary when it's swimming against the flow
Though you're free to try
Until the stream runs dry
In my memory you were everything to me
And sometimes I made that very hard to see
Foolish youth is always yearning to be free
What I would give right now
To dry the tears you cried
See the lonely boy
He didn't know any better
He was learning slowly from mistakes along the way
There's one mistake that will haunt him to the day he dies
The only hope I've known
Is you and I
I stand before you with my heart here in my hand
All these lessons have shaped me for who I am
Can you see the lonely boy inside the man
He's learned so much more now
Than he knew back then
See the lonely boy
He didn't know any better
He was learning slowly from mistakes along the way
There's one mistake that will haunt him to the day he dies
The only hope I've known
Is you and I
The only hope I've known
Is you and I
The only hope I've known
I've been all the way down this lonely road
This lonely road
