i spent so much time
on a rip-off of cloud nine
i think i forgot real happiness
bad circumstances wounded me
brought me down just like a knife
and bled the color right out of my life

but luck has a lovely way of changing
sometimes things just need rearranging
i once was lost but now i'm found
my head's up high with the birds
my feet don't touch the ground
no matter what i go through
i'll always come around
