There's been times I've felt like half a man
Life's had me down on my knees
Troubled times I don't understand why they happen to me
I have struggled through the darkness and I have found the light of day

But if I lost you, there'd be no sunshine shining through

Like a fish out of water a dreamer without a dream
I have learned about losing I could lose most anything

[Chorus (2 x's)]
