Have You Been There?

I have been to the edge,
I have walked thru’ the fire,
I have lived on no more than air,
I have lost my way,
I have forgotten desire,
Tell me, o’, girl, have you been there?

Have you been there?
Where sanity leaves,
Where love often falters,
Where hearts go to bleed,
Where desperate emotions meet in despair,
I have been there, o’, girl,
Have you been there?

I have fell in the ocean,
I have sunk in the sea,
I have drifted away without care,
I have roared in the wind,
I have been to my knees,
Tell me, o’, girl, have you been there?

Have you been there?
Where sanity leaves,
Where love often falters,
Where hearts go to bleed,
Where desperate emotions meet in despair,
I have been there, o’, girl,
Have you been there?

I have cried in the rain,
I have ached in the night,
I have stood where few ever dare,
I have rose to the challenge,
I have lost in the fight,
Tell me, o’, girl, have you been there?

Have you been there?
Where sanity leaves,
Where love often falters,
Where hearts go to bleed,
Where desperate emotions meet in despair,
I have been there, o’, girl,
Have you been there?

I have been to the edge,
I have been thru’ despair,
Tell me, o’, girl,
Have you been there?
