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-
