Time Is Teaching lyrics

I used to think I had to run Chasing things I'd never become Always looking somewhere else Trying to find myself But time don't move the way we plan It shapes the boy into a man Every loss and every win Slowly change the heart within Time is teaching me What I couldn't see All the things I tried to control Were just shaping my soul Time is teaching me Who I'm meant to be Step by step, day by day Life keeps showing me the way I've made mistakes I can't erase Met some people I can't replace Took some roads that led nowhere Still I'm standing here somewhere Now I don't rush like before I don't knock on every door What is meant will always stay What is not just fades away Time is teaching me What I couldn't see All the things I tried to control Were just shaping my soul Time is teaching me Who I'm meant to be Step by step, day by day Life keeps showing me the way Maybe destiny ain't loud Maybe it don't make you proud Maybe it's just quiet days Walking through life simple ways Maybe being a better man Is just doing what you can Being kind and standing strong And learning from what went wrong Now I don't fear getting old Every year worth more than gold Lines on my face, stories to tell Some were heaven, some were hell If I leave something behind I hope it's peace inside their mind Not money, not a famous name Just love that quietly remains Time is teaching me What I couldn't see All the things I tried to control Were just shaping my soul Time is teaching me Who I'm meant to be Step by step, day by day Life keeps showing me the way
