I can tell by this crack of light 
Oh girl this is gonna be, it's gonna be a beautiful day 
And I can tell by this stretch of silver 
Spreading all out across the curves of your face 

And for the love, for the love of God 
I've gathered up my pride, I've gathered up my bits and bone 
And in a world that broke me down 
I'm standing up, but not alone 

'Cause this is a healing song, oh and I've got a heart that fails 
But love is pushing me along, I'm lifting up above this veil 
This is a healing song, oh and I don't know if you can tell 
But love is pushing me along 
I'm pressing up against the rail, pressing up against the rail 

I can smell the summer in the air 
And I swear I can almost see, I can almost see my soul 
Son, I know that it don't seem fair 
But I'm turning away from here, and oh Lord, I am coming home 

I've got friends here that love me 
I've got all this mercy beating in my blood 
And I've got friends here that love me 
And that's something good, that's something good 

You and I, we've come so far 
We've come so far, we cannot look back 
I said you and I, we've come so far 
We've come so far, we cannot look back 

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) 
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 
We cannot look back (you and I cannot look back) 

I said you and I (you and I, we've come so far) 
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 
We've come so far (you and I, we've come so far) 
No, we cannot look back (we cannot look back)
