I go there
There's a place that I go
Not for pleasure, not for show
No I just take comfort there
It's a marvellous place
I forget about my face and the clothes I wear
I arrive there naked as the day I was born
I'm relieved at the door of disguises I've worn
There is no hall of mirrors but I do see myself
I'm delighted by my reflection
I am not somebody else
No I'm the person I always wanted to be
Thе person I always wanted to be
I go thеre, I go there
To find wind on a still still day
I go there I go there
To find stillness when the wind might blow me away
And when I'm feeling the need to look deep into my heart
I see all of the signs pointing me back to the start
When I believed in my visions
When I trusted in my dreams
When no amount of trouble ever turned out to be
More trouble than it seems
Oh the person I always wanted to be
Yeah the person I always wanted to be
When I'm feeling the need to look deep into my heart
I hear a celebration and I'm invited to take part
I watch as my hopes triumph over my fears
And I dance with the child I lost touch with though the years
Ah the person I always wanted to be
Yeah the person I always wanted to be
There's a place that I go
Not for pleasure
Not for show
No, I just take comfort there
