It's hard to recall how we were at school Our ambitions and conditions and our hopes for the future The teachers we had, our mums and our dads Their decisions and revisions and their hopes for the future
But look at me now, I cannot count the cost Of all the friends I lost and though my heart did break Look at me now, I'm on the candle flame I have a different name, I have your hand to take But look at me now and here I am
I used to believe in an idea received With concision, but derision was my natural reaction You cannot pretend that its all gonna end In a second to be reckoned like a soldier in action
But look at me now, I cannot count the cost Of all the friends I lost and though my heart did break Look at me now, I'm on the candle flame I have a different name, I have your hand to take But look at me now and here I am Won't you look at me now?
