Looking Back II

 

Years go by I see your face again

I’m looking back at how it all began

But now that you have finally broken through

I’m looking back     I’m looking back at you

 

Something was always missing in your eyes

A face I sometimes hardly recognized

But now that you can really see it through

I’m looking back     I’m looking back at you

 

Now that you have made the change

You can have a life again

 

For so long you were standing in your own way

Always looking to someone else to blame

But now that you can clearly see right through

I’m looking back     I’m looking back at you

 

 Looking back     I’m looking back at you

And now your life is coming back to you

Looking back     I’m looking back through you

Now that I can see the real you

Looking back     I’m looking back at you

 And your strength is really showin’ through

Looking back     I’m looking back through

Now that you have found the power to choose

Looking back     I’m looking back at you

As you are ready to embrace the new

Looking back     I’m looking back through you

And now your life is comin’ back to you

Comin’ back to you     Comin’ back to you

 

Now that you have made the change

You can find yourself again

 

You lived a life you conveniently denied

Avoiding all the pain you held inside

But now that you know what you have to do

I’m looking back     I’m looking back at you

 

So deep the shame you desperately tried to hide

You’d started to believe in your own lies

But now that you have turned to see the truth

I’m looking back     I’m looking back through you

And now your life is comin’ back to you

Comin’ back to you     Comin’ back to you

Back to you     Back to you

Back to you
