Rainy Eyes - To Live and Learn

original text at lyrnow.com/1983889
It was 9 years ago
That i first came to this land
Just a young girl
Of 19
When I gave away my hand
Oh my mother, oh she cried
Told me not to go away
To that foreign backwards country
But I promised I'd come back someday

Oh dear mother, mother of mine
You know I can't turn back the wheel of time
All the bridges I have burned
In this life
Just to live and learn

When you're young
You make decisions
Without knowing how your life
Will turn out
But eventually you'll stop and see
That you're the one that
Chose this route

Oh dear mother, mother of mine
You know I can't turn back the wheel of time
All the bridges I have burned
In this life
Just to live and learn
Oh I'm just a wayfaring stranger
With a burden too heavy for me to keep
I will shed every layer
As I cross these mountains rough and steep
