Blues Traveler – Recognize My Friend lyrics

I look back on this life and it doesn't seem right that I'm standing here today
So many times I thought I would die but always something stood in my way

Save me again from doing myself in
Give me another wake-up call
The lessons we've learned
How soon we return
And so now I'm headed for another fall
From grace into danger
Mysterious stranger
Guardian angel above all
When we meet again, right there and then, I hope you realize my friend
When my time is up and my spirit ascends, I hope I recognize my friend

“My friend”, does that even define?
Though I know that you're mine, somehow the words just seem so small
And you are so far
And I am so high
And now I'm ready for another fall
From grace into danger
Mysterious stranger
Guardian angel above all
When we meet again, right there and then, I hope you realize my friend
When my time is up and my spirit ascends, I hope I recognize my friend

When we meet again, before it ends, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again and the music comes in, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, right there and then, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, from now until then, I hope I recognize my friend
When we meet again, before it ends, I hope I recognize my friend
