Oh, when I was younger I danced out in the open
I spun around till I fell down, and I was nearly broken
Now my heart, it sings to mend the strings my spirit has awoken
And I was out sleepwalking, I was dazed all in emotion
And now the light is so bright I could see
For miles through the distant trees
Oh, feeling so free
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-ooh
Ooh
Oh, all these little things they pulled at my heart
And I'm gonna make a new start
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And oh, I surrender, you see
Oh-oh
Oh, to whatever my future may be
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-ooh
Oh-ooh
I needed to calm down 'cause I had found
That I used to be so complicated, you see
I'm spreading the news that I ain't got the blues
Oh, so far I could see, oh, for miles through thе trees
Oh, I changed my view to a differеnt hue and now I can see clearly again
