In my life I've met so many people Some are good and some are bad The more I know of this old world I don't feel safe, I don't have faith Knowledge is a friend of mine First was lost and now it's found Knowledge is a friend of mine Still it's hard to pin it down Hard to let my old self go Hard to let my old self go In my youth I was shy and awkward Anyhow I made it count That's the point, keep on going It's the same for everyone Knowledge is a friend of mine First was lost and now it's found Knowledge is a friend of mine Still it's hard to pin it down Hard to let my old self go So hard to let my old self go Hard to let my old self go So hard to let my old self go
