When I was young, much younger than now
I've learnt to swear and made a vow
When I was so very young in my mind
I've learnt to leave my past behind
I've known hunger, since I was ten
And loneliness was my good friend
I've learnt to smile, when I feel sad
When as the good times, turnin' bad
I'm on the other side now
Across the sea of sorrow
Yes I can see the light now
I know where the wind blows
I've known love, and hated too
And painted dreams, that don't come true
I've learnt a lot, yet there's more
With every knocking on my door
I've known hunger, since I was ten
And loneliness was my good friend
I've learnt to smile, when I feel sad
When as the good times, turnin' bad
Yes I'm, on the other side now
Across the sea of sorrow
Yes I can see the light now
I know where the wind blows
