Lyrics

Here Before

[Verse 1]

Once I had a child

He was wilder than moonlight

He could do it all

Like he'd been here before

[Verse 2]

Once I had a child

She was smiling like sunshine

She could see it all

Like she'd been here before

[Verse 3]

Then I had a child

Took his while like northern summer

And he knows it all

Like he's been here before
