I woke up in a different world today
A different state of mind
I gathered up my thoughts and didn't allow them to stray
I didn't have to go that far to find
What it is that I'm looking for
It was right there in front of me
all the time
I just had to recognize recognize recognize
That I only had to open up my eyes '
And watch the world change
Right there right there in front of me
So I want to take this time and say hello
To somebody that I knew but I didn't really know
So as a friend of mine
I know I know I let you down
But you were true and always hung around
As if you knew that everyone who gets lost
Is just around the corner waiting to be found
Willingly they pay the cost
As they wait to know that someone seeks to find
And the weight the weight the weight that that takes off their mind
Allows them to look in the mirror and see what they can find
I woke up in a different world today
A different state of mind
And I saw somebody that I hadn't seen
I have been trying so hard to find
I turn the tap and i washed my face
And in that mirror I saw no trace
Of all that weight that I carried on my back
The disguise was gone and it was me again
I smile at the image and I say hello
How are you
Its really nice to see you again
Really nice really
To see you again
