Hey J

It's been a long time since I've seen you last

A half and twenty-six years

My time is fast

I'm well

Though I've gone through some deep changes in my life

It hasn't been easy

Oh no not for me

It's been difficult at times

Sometimes I sit down and cry

And ask God "Oh why"

Fair what is

I know how you're feelin'

Same thing I did deal with

You're not as alone as you may feel

You see but oh

It catches up to us fast

We have to deal with the past

I know it's painful but

There you'll find specialness

'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

We need to remember

That love lies deep within ourselves

We have to want it so

It starts with us and no one else

We must learn we're all born

With specialness inside of us

I have the need to feel real special too

You see you can't run away from your pain

Because wherever you run there you will be

You have to learn to water your spiritual garden

Then you will be free

I know how you're feelin'

Same thing I did deal with

You're not as alone as you may feel

You see but oh

It catches up to us fast

We have to deal with the past

I know it's painful but

There you'll find specialness

'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

We need to remember

That love lies deep within ourselves

We have to want it so

It starts with us and no one else

We must learn we're all born

With specialness inside of us

I have the need to feel real special too
