These Are The Things - Shem Thomas

You found it hard to realise

You found it hard to choose

You found it hard to see the light

When you’re searching for the truth

You tried so hard to be a part

You tried to be their clown

You tried to hide your broken heart

When they always bring you down

Yeah they always bring you down

These are the things that innocence brings us

We might get lost but then we will find out

These are the things — that make a better man

But now I know your heart was good

The years have set you free

Now as a man I see it all so clear

I find that boy was me

Yeah I find that boy is me

These are the things that innocence brings us

We might get lost but then we will find out

These are the things — that make a better man

These are the things from beggars to kings,

we all have to fall before we can go to

Where it all begins —

You gotta go down to see the light

Sing those words to see inside

Touch your soul and press rewind, free your mind

You gotta go down to know what’s right

Hear my words and start to fly

There’s no place I’d rather be

I am you and you are me

These are the things that innocence brings us

We might get lost but then we will find out

These are the things — that make a better man

These are the things from beggars to kings,

we all have to fall before we can go to

Where it all begins

These are the things
