You can't outrun your shadow Believe me because I've tried And a change in your reflection Don't change a thing that's inside I know its painful to remember But the past is there to help us learn Like the child who hurts his finger Before believing that fire burns I would not have gotten up If you had not let me fall No I would not have gotten up If you had not given me room to fall Sometimes the destination Don't mean as much as what brought you there All the wrong turns I've made Were the only way to get me here I would not have gotten up If you had not let me fall No I would not have gotten up If you had not given me room to fall You picked me up by letting me fall I would not have gotten up If you had not let me fall No I would not have gotten up If you had not given me room to fall
