I Have Been This Place Before

I have been this place before
I have stood upon the shore
Of destitution.
I have seen my heart soar
Into skys forever more
Cradled in the reality
Of hope.

I have been this place before
Weep not, weep not
For this has been my life
Throughout the toil
Joy and strife.

I have been this place before
And will remain here
For evermore.
Come join me
We will dance a jig
I have been this place before.
