The Man I Used To Be

[Edmond]
I've seen a thousand wonders
I've lived a hundred lifetimes
But not until this moment
Have miracles seemed real

As fleeting as a shadow
The time goes by unnoticed
The hate that drove me forward
Is gone and I am face to face with...

The man I used to be
Dreams I dared to dream
When love was all
The innocence of youth
Like memories of truth return
To learn forgiveness

The man I used to be
Cannot be outrun
Albert still lives
Whatever else I've done
Forever in his eyes, she'll see
The man that I used to be

And all the years will melt away
And nights will fall much softer now

For all the pain is gone
Hope is what moves on
I will be there
As near as her next prayer
As merciful as sweet redemption

Once blind, now I see
Once a slave, I'm free
Give me a star
To homeward guide my heart
To resurrect a part of me
The man who I used to be
