| Where have you been? |
| And what are you looking for? |
| Tell me, old friend: |
| When you turn out the light, |
| close your eyes for the night, |
| does your mind go astray, |
| are you running away from yourself? |
| Don’t be afraid to ask for help |
| We shared so much together |
| Our dreams went on forever |
| Living like the day would never end |
| Then came the stormy weather |
| Our lives were torn and shattered |
| We were forced to stop and start again |
| It’s never easy to face the fact |
| that you have made a mistake and yet |
| Isn’t it time that you found |
| the purpose of living that brings peace of mind? |
| And where have you been? |
| (Where have you been? You’ve been away so long) |
| And what are you looking for? |
| (What are you looking for way out their on your own) |
| Tell me, old friend: |
| (Where have you been? You’ve been away so long) |
| When you turn out the light, |
| close your eyes for the night, |
| does your mind go astray, |
| are you running away from yourself? |
| Don’t be afraid to ask for help |
| If we were merely strangers |
| oblivious to dangers |
| that living in the shadows can lead you to |
| I wouldn’t speak so freely |
| but in your eyes, I see me |
| The lesson that life has taught me |
| I give to you |
| What you give out will come back to you |
| Isn’t it time that you faced the truth? |
| Stop holding so much inside |
| Admit to yourself that you’re not satisfied |
| Where have you been? |
| When you’re not strong, I’ll be your shoulder |
| When I was cold |
| When I was tired |
| I didn’t know if anybody cared |
| But you see, I had to turn around and look at myself |
| Nobody else understood me |
| But I made it through |
| and you can too |
| I’ve been missing you, old friend |
| I’ve been missing you, old friend |
