Statler Brothers Since Then Lyrics

In my youth I was enchanted
Took the good, good life for granted
Thought the better things were handed out for free
But since then I've learned that living
Does require a bit of giving
And some things that I'd been missing now I see

And there was a time when I was slow
To lend a helping hand
I'm not perfect
But I've learned a lot since then

There were times when I thought surely
I'd find riches in a hurry
And become the judge and jury of my time
And the life I thought so splendid
Turned before me to be mended
Placed me in rounds where I'd intended not to climb

And the world that used to fall in step
Beneath my guiding hands
Is still turning
But it's changed a lot since then Since then (Since then) I've made a new way
Since then (Since then) I've found a new day
Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound
Have been (Have been) unshackled (unbound)
Since when my pride was always pushing me
To be a bigger man
I'm still trying and I've learned a lot since then

Since then (Since then) I've made a new way
Since then (Since then) I've found a new day
Since then (Since then) the shackles that bound
Have been (Have been) unshackled (unbound)
Since when my pride was always pushing me
To be a bigger man
I'm still trying and I've learned a lot since then
I'm still trying and I've learned a lot since then
