I was young Just yesterday And I never knew How deep life cuts How quiet wounds Can linger on In the corners of your mind Every love Every heartbreak Every wrong road taken Left its marks on me No, I ain’t young The way I was But I can take what I have learned And hand it down to you So you don’t walk the way I did So hear me now 'Cause when you stand Where I'm standin’ today I pray you won’t Be weighed down By all the scars Of the mistakes I carry with me But did I learn enough Can I truly save you And if the night gets heavy And shadows pull you down Don’t let the weight of sorrow Be the voice that turns you ’round I walked these winding paths I paid for every choice So take what I'm giving you Seek the path that’s in my voice
