Hey J
 It's been a long time since
 I've seen you last
 A half and twenty six years
 (My time is fast)
 I'm well
 Though I've gone through
 Some deep changes in my life
 It hasn't been easy
 Oh no not for me
 It's been difficult at times
 Sometimes I'd sit down and cry
 And ask God oh why
 (Fair.... what is?)
 I know how you're feelin'
 Same thing I did deal with
 Ya not as alone
 As you may feel
 You see but oh
 It catches up to us fast
 We have to deal with our past
 I know it's painful but
 There you'll find specialness
 'Cause everybody needs to feel real special
 We need to remember
 The love lies deep within ourselves
 We have to want it so
 It starts with us and no one else
 We must learn
 We're all born with specialness inside of us
 I have the need
 To feel real special too

 You see you can't run away from your pain
 Because wherever you run there you will be
 You have to learn to water your spiritual garden
 Then you will be free
 I know how you're feelin'
 Same thing I did deal with
 Ya not as alone
 As you may feel
 You see but oh
 It catches up to us fast
 We have to deal with our past
 I know it's painful but
 There you'll find specialness
 'Cause everybody needs to feel real special
 We need to remember
 The love lies deep within ourselves
 We have to want it so
 It starts with us and no one else
 We must learn
 We're all born with specialness inside of us
 I have the need
 To feel real special too
