It's Been a While

It's been a while
Since I could kick back
Since I could relax
Since I had nothing to worry about.

It's been a while
Since I knew right from wrong
Since I knew what to do
Since the world let me be me.

It's been a while
Since I had a family
Since I belonged
Since I've had a place to call "home".

It's been a while
Since I made my decisions
Since I knew what I wanted
Since I had independence.

It's been a while
Since I had a passion
Since I had anything meaningful
Since I had a life to live.

It's been a while since I've been happy.
