lyrics

v1:
Sometimes I think I'm lucky
I've got some friends who call it blessed
No, I don't like that term so much
It lifts me up as better than the rest
-----
And I'm not holy, I'm not evil
I'm somewhere in between
I've got a heart that's unretrievable
depending on how I lean
There's something I've learned in all my days
We all need to be seen

v2:
You think I've paid no attention
but I've noticed every grain of sand
I've loved every day and then some
and there's something you need to understand
-----
I'm no angel, I'm no devil
I'm just clay upon the earth
I'm so much worse and so much better
but I know what I'm worth
There's something I've learned in all my days
We all need to be heard

-- some sort of bridge --

v3:
Now I'm not gone forever,
but I might step away for a while
Let's pull ourselves together
Let's try to keep the heart of a child
-----
I was wrong and I am sorry,
but I'll always keep in touch
You are strong, so I won't worry
At least not too much
There's something I've learned in all my days
We all need to be loved
