I went down to Florida to see an old friend of mine
And thinking about the good times we once had,
And knowing I had changed and maybe he had not
And hoping that he would understand.
Talking about killin’ things down in another race
Well, I’ve been down that road before and I’m in a different place.
Learning how to love, forgetting how to hate
Finding my way slowly learning, day by day
It took a lot of living to make me realise
That fear and hate and worry makes you blind.
And it took a lot of loving to open up my eyes
And what I found was right there all the time
So I sing you this simple song and hope that you can find
Something good about it that will open up your mind
Learning how to love, forgetting how to hate
Finding my way, slowly learning day by day.
