Intuition I could not ignore
Came to help me in my time of danger
Wasn´t easy walking out the door
But I knew any other place was safer
And the freedom that I now enjoy
Helps the bruises in my heart to face
´Cause I know I am not afraid

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you´ve never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own

How you gonna try to sing the blues
When the only key you know is major?
Walk a mile in someone else´s shoes
And the ups and downs have got to change ya

You can´t tell me that you understand
´Til my bitter tears roll down your face
´Til you´re standing in my place

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you´ve never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own

Now I´ve got it together
I will always remember
Where I´ve been, where I´m going
Why I´m here, why I´m living
Now I´ve got it together
There´s no more desperation
Only my affirmation
To live for me

You can never feel the joy and pain
That you´ve never known
Far too much emotion to explain
In a story that is not your own
