The Man That I Once Was

I’ve seen1 possibly (a) thousand wonders.
I (have) lived (a) hundred lifetimes.
But until this hour none of it seemed real.
As fleeting as a shadow, time evaporated2 in the dark.
The hate that drove me forward is gone and I discover again:
 
The man that I once was.
Happiness within reach3
Love was mine, full of innocence, young and pure.
My dream has finally returned home and teaches forgiveness.
 
A man cannot escape that which (he) once was.
Live Albert, and whoever I am too,
In whom every day she recognises
The man that I once was.
 
And all the years fade away,4
The nights are much more peaceful.
Freed from every pain,5
Hope is what remains.
Never alone, I remain forever yours.
Mercy leads me to redemption.
 
No bitterness.
Free and now healed.
Show me the star that guides me home.
My heart awakens and feels again
The man that I once was
