What have I become?
What am I runnin' away from?
I used to see
Things in a very different way

What am I to do?
I have changed my point of view
I was lost
Now I've found myself in you

From some other part of me
I'll summon the strength to see me through
From deep in the heart of me
To be everything you want me to

And that's when I start to be
The man you've always seen in me
The man you always wanted me to be

What have we become?
What are we running away from?
We need to see
Life in a very different way

Learning what to do
After all that we've been through
No longer lost
We have found ourselves anew

From some other part of me
I'll summon the strength to see me through
From deep in the heart of me
To be anything you want me to

And that's when I start to be
The man you've always seen in me
The man you always wanted me to be

Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah

The man you always wanted me to be
The man you always wanted me to be

Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
Ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah, ee-yeah
