[Verse 1: Ryan MIller]
If in the morning you look up
Fake a smile and you sigh
Don't fear the future
In the years to come you'll learn
You'll learn
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
Hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the chance to reveal
But it's all
It's all in your hands
When do we begin?
[Verse 2: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
Although you're so sad

It makes you wonder
A life alone
You'll learn, you'll learn
You'll learn
Oh oh oh ooh
[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner/Miller]
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
Hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the chance to reveal
But it's all
It's all in your hands
It's all
It's all in your hands
When do we begin?
[Hook: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner, Both]
Oh oh oh ooh
When do we begin?
Oh oh oh ooh
You'll learn, you'll learn, you'll learn
Oh oh oh ooh
Don't fear the future
[Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner/Miller]
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
I hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the chance to reveal
But it's all
It's all in your hands
It's all
It's all in your hands
It's all
It's all in your hands
When do we begin?
