lyrics

I celebrate
All the changes that I’ve made,
I’ve feared the worst
Cos I know how failure hurts,
I’ve turned a corner
That no one else can see
I’m feeling hopeful.

I want to go, go, go
When desperation looms,
I’m reaching out
Cos I found a kindred soul
That’s looking right through me -
Invisible,
That’s not so obvious at all.

Should I applaud?
Now that things have turned around,
The aches and pains
Still scatter round my brain,
It’s misleading -
Meandering my thoughts,
I’m feeling doubtful.

You understand
When there’s no one else around
To listen in,
And I know you feel the same
That crooked path that turns
Leads me on my way,
All things seem hopeful.
