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 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, Where have you been? When you're not strong, I'll be your shoulder 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, 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
