Nobody knows just where I've been - No one but me
They're on the outside looking in - No one can see
Stormy days when I was younger
In many ways they made me stronger

'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there

Seen my dreams in flames
Rise back up again
I have known despair and I've walked on air
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there

No one can tell me how it feels to be afraid
All of the ghosts they won't lie still - They know my name
Late at night I hear them calling
But that's a place I won't be falling

'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there

Seen my dreams in flames
Rise back up again
I have known despair and I've walked on air
I've been there
I've been there
I've been there

And I'm telling you what I've been through
'Cause I'm still standing here
It's the simple truth
When hope is nowhere to be found it always comes around

'Cause I've been knocked down
And I've been lifted up
Cried a thousand tears of joy and fear-
