I Never Was Told


 C. April 12, 1986 Mark S Welch Key: G


Catch a falling star in the palm of your hand

Ride with the wind just as fast you can

Always listen to your heart

Give your all right from the start

And always believe


I tell you things that now you don’t understand
But they will come to you and before you’re a man

You’ll see the light within your eyes

You’ll be so very wise if you’ll always believe


But I never heard these words when I was young

So it took so long till this song was sung

I had to learn I had to feel I had to grow

If I had known these words that the years have shown

I’d have gone so far I would be full grown

And I could love it wouldn’t have to be so hard

But I never was told


Take all the chances even look back

Learn from mistakes stay off the beaten path

Trust the voice from deep inside

Let it be your guide and always believe


Yes, believe in yourself you’re the perfect one

Give your love so free always walk in the sun

See the beauty in every eye

Don’t be afraid to cry and always believe
