I've Been There

Nobody knows just where I've been, no one but me They're on the outside looking in, no one can see Stormy days when I was younger In many ways they made me stronger 'Cos I've been knocked down and I've been lifted up Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear I've been there, I've been there, I've been there Seen my dreams in flames rise back up again I have known despair and I've walked on air I've been there, I've been there I've been there, I've been there No one can tell me how it feels to be afraid All of the ghosts they won't lie still they know my name Late at night I hear them calling But that's a place I won't be falling 'Cos I've been knocked down and I've been lifted up Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear I've been there, I've been there, I've been there Seen my dreams in flames rise back up again I have known despair and I've walked on air I've been there, I've been there I've been there And I'm telling you what I've been through 'Cos I'm still standing here, it's the simple truth When hope is nowhere to be found it always comes around 'Cos I've been knocked down and I've been lifted up Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear I've been there, I've been there, I've been there I've been locked out and I've walked back in I have known despair and I've walked on air I've been there, I've been there I've been there, I've been there I've been there, I've been hurt, I've been down I've been in, I've been out I've seen dreams all in flames All around, around again I've been there I've been hurt, I've been down I've been in, I've been out I've been sad, I've been bad I've been there, I've been there, I've been there You know I've been there I've been there, yes, I've been there You know I've been there Gonna rise, gonna rise, gonna rise 'Cos I've been there
