I can tell by this crack of light

Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a
beautiful day

And I can tell by this stretch of silver

Spreading all out across the curves of your face

And for the love, for the love of God

I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my
bits and bone

And in a world that broke me down

I'm standing up, but not alone

'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a
heart that fails

But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up
above this veil

This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if
you can tell

But love is pushing me along

I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up
against the rail

I can smell the summer in the air

And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my
soul

Son, I know that it don't seem fair

But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am
coming home

I've got friends here that love me

I've got all this mercy beating in my blood

And I've got friends here that love me

And that's something good, that's something good

You and I, we've come so far

We've come so far, we cannot look back

I said you and I, we've come so far

We've come so far, we cannot look back

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)

We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back)

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far)

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)

We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far)

No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back)
