From the recording A Lesson Learned

Lyrics

A LESSON LEARNED

Just when you think that you can leave the past behind
It may be out of sight but never out of mind
I know you're humbled
I know you're sad
I know he hurt you
Hurt you so bad

Look at it as a lesson learned
Just stop and turn around
Look at it as a chance for you
To walk the higher ground
I really hate to see the pain you;re going through
But there's no way I can't take this weight from you
Think of it as a lesson, a lesson learned

Just when you think that he can't hurt you anymore
Somehow he finds the only unlocked, open door
You think it's finished
You think it's done
But it's not over
It's just begun

Look at it as a lesson learned
Just stop and turn around
Look at it as a chance for you
To walk the higher ground
I really wish that I could take this weight from you
But it's something you just have to suffer through
Think of it as a lesson, a lesson learned

Whaycha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do -- whatcha gonna do?
What else can you do about it?

But look at it as a lesson learned
Just stop and turn around
Look at it as a chance for you
To walk the higher ground
There's really no one who can take this weight from you
It's just something everybody must go through
Think of it as a lesson, a lesson learned
