I've seen this face before
  It somehow looks familiar
  Tattered and weatherworn
  A sad, pathetic creature
  
  And once you stood so strong
  Your eyes alight with promise
  You vowed to carry on
  A heart once beat in your chest
  
  Cut forward to another day
  Another time, another place
  You're not who you used to be
  And I wonder why
  
  CH
  I knew you once
  When you were young
  Before you knew
  What you'd become
  But that was then
  And this is now
  You've lost your way
  You've fallen down
  
  You can't just walk away
  You can't choose to ignore me
  I stand in front of you
  A stranger stands before me
  
  What happened to the boy
  Head filled with aspirations
  His dreams within his reach
  His life a celebration?
  
  Cut forward to another day
  Another time, another place
  You're not who you used to be
  And I wonder why
  
  (CH)
  
  And now there's nothing left
  Your face a pale reflection
  With only emptiness
  You've lost your life's direction
  
  What happened to the man
  Who couldn't be defeated
  Who always stood his ground
  When lesser men retreated?
  
  Cut forward to another day
  Another time, another place
  You're not who you used to be
  And I wonder why
  
  (CH)
