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

´cos 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

´cos 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
´cos i´m still standing here
it´s the simple truth
when hope is nowhere to be found it always comes around

´cos 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
i´ve been locked out
and i´ve walked back in
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

i´ve been there
i´ve been hurt, i´ve been down
i´ve been in, i´ve been out
i´ve seen dreams all in flames
all around, around again...

i´ve been there

i´ve been hurt, i´ve been down
i´ve been in, i´ve been out
i´ve been sad, i´ve been bad
i´ve been there
i´ve been there
i´ve been there

you know i´ve been there

i´ve been there

yes i´ve been there

you know i´ve been there

gonna rise, gonna rise, gonna rise,

´cos i´ve been there
