lyrics version 1
You gotta go through changes
If you want to grow
You've gotta learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky is falling on you
Or you can open your heart
To the pain and the sorrow
'Til the storm is finally through
If you want to grow
You've gotta learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky is falling on you
Or you can open your heart
To the pain and the sorrow
'Til the storm is finally through
lyrics version 2
Mmm hmm
You gotta go through changes
If you want to grow
You've got to learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you've never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And their friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky starts falling on you
Or you can open your heart
To the pain and the sorrow
'Til the storm is finally through
It takes a lot of courage
To live this life
When the troubles come calling
And the tears start falling
It just cuts you like a knife
You gotta stand your ground
When your world caves in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
God bless you [Spoken]
You gotta go through changes
If you want to grow
You've got to learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you've never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And their friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky starts falling on you
Or you can open your heart
To the pain and the sorrow
'Til the storm is finally through
It takes a lot of courage
To live this life
When the troubles come calling
And the tears start falling
It just cuts you like a knife
You gotta stand your ground
When your world caves in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
God bless you [Spoken]

Go through changes
If you want to grow
You've got to learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you've never been
You'll be a stronger person

You've got to learn some lessons
You don't want to know
You're gonna end up places
Where you've never been
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again

Oh, oh oh, oh oh
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky is falling on you
Or you can open your heart
There's a slow procession
On a lonely road
People start to cry
They've come to say goodbye
And friends help carry the load
But if you open your arms
And take it all in
You'll be a stronger person
When you get back again
You can run for the shelter
And hide in the shadows
When the sky is falling on you
Or you can open your heart
