(jack hues)



It's hard to recall how we were at school

Our ambitions and conditions

And our hopes for the future

The teachers we had, our mums and our dads

Their decisions and revisions

And their hopes for the future



Chorus:

But look at me now

I cannot count the cost

Of all the friends i lost

And though my heart did break

Look at me now

I'm on the candle flame

I have a different name

I have your hand to take

But look at me now - and here i am



I used to believe in an idea received

With concision, but derision

Was my natural reaction

You cannot pretend that its all gonna end

In a second to be reckoned

Like a soldier in action



Repeat chorus

Won't you look at me now
