"Lesson All Along" lyrics

I wanted to see that place
And I know I should be there with you now
Quiet streets, long reach of the afternoon
The shadows on the ground

I had to turn back
But this time I knew you'd understand
'Cause if the hurt inside is gone
Then there was a lesson all along
And though I let it out of mind
I hope I remember it in time
I know that you care
Know your mind from a single look
You've never let me down
And all I had was a time when I could choose
Now I don't remember how
The forest was saved
And you have no need to doubt again
'Cause when the hope inside is strong
We are many, we are one
In every difference we're alike
And on one another we rely
On each other we rely
