It's hard to recall how we were at school
Our ambitions and conditions and our hopes for the future
The teachers we had, our mums and our dads
Their decisions and revisions and their hopes for the futureBut look at me now, I cannot count the cost
Of all the friends I lost and though my heart did break
Look at me now, I'm on the candle flame
I have a different name, I have your hand to take
But look at me now and here I amI used to believe in an idea received
With concision, but derision was my natural reaction
You cannot pretend that its all gonna end
In a second to be reckoned like a soldier in actionBut look at me now, I cannot count the cost
Of all the friends I lost and though my heart did break
Look at me now, I'm on the candle flame
I have a different name, I have your hand to take
But look at me now and here I am
Won't you look at me now?
