lyrics

There's a place I know
I used to go when I was young
where the road winds down beside a silver stream
where I dreamed a dream, and felt so free
in that place I know, I used to go when I was young

I drove back to that memory just yesterday
passed the empty lot where we'd go after school and play
I heard St. Ann's bell ring, thought about the songs we used to sing
when I drove back to that memory, just yesterday

I'm trying to find a decent reason why
I got so far out of line
Looking for a way to make things right
maybe find forgiveness in my Father's eyes
and if every heartache was just a lesson
to help me understand
then I would understand

somewhere out there on the back roads
as these old memories flood my mind
half was scared, half way excited,
cause I don't know what I might find
is this the dream I dreamed?
of how it all might be
somewhere on the backroads
as these memories flood my mind

I'm trying to find a decent reason why
I got so far out of line
Looking for a way to make things right
maybe find forgiveness in my father's eyes
and if every heartache was just a lesson
to help me understand
then I would understand

there's no need for me to regret
the things I didn't know
there's no need to go on
holding on to such a heavy load
I think it's time for letting go

I'm trying to find a decent reason why
I got so far out of line
Looking for a way to make things right
maybe find forgiveness in my father's eyes
and if every heartache was just a lesson
to help me understand
then I would understand
so help me understand
so I can understand
