lyrics

I once was a child
Tender and naïve
I could walk through a desert and still find life
And laughter brought me to my knees, but

I'm not that anymore
I'm not that anymore

I became a Country singer
They told me I should write songs about trucks, girls and beer
And I gave up my voice, as if I didn't have a choice
Until one day, I looked myself in the mirror and said

I'm not that anymore
I'm not that anymore
They can knock, they can bang, they can beat on my door, but
I'm not that anymore

There was a seed in the ground
And it grew up with help from all that's around
Changed color, changed shape
And offered itself for the world to take

One day I'll be a raindrop
And fall from great heights
Become part of a snow, join in a river's flow
Before taking my place in the ocean
And I'll rise again

I'm not that anymore
I'm not that anymore
You can call out my name, I won't answer, because
I'm not that anymore

You can search up and down, everywhere, every when
You can write me in your story, insist and pretend
But if you are still living in yesterday, then
I'm not that anymore
