[Verse 1]

In my life I've met so many people

Some are good and some are bad

The more I know of this old world

I don't feel safe, I don't have faith

[Chorus]

Knowledge is a friend of mine

First was lost and now it's found

Knowledge is a friend of mine

Still it's hard to pin it down

[Post-Chorus]

Hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go

[Verse 2]

In my youth I was shy and awkward

Anyhow I made it count

That's the point, keep on going

It's the same for everyone

[Chorus]

Knowledge is a friend of mine

First was lost and now it's found

Knowledge is a friend of mine

Still it's hard to pin it down

[Chorus]

Knowledge is a friend of mine

First was lost and now it's found

Knowledge is a friend of mine

Still it's hard to pin it down

[Chorus]

Knowledge is a friend of mine

First was lost and now it's found

Knowledge is a friend of mine

Still it's hard to pin it down

[Outro]

So hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go

So hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go

So hard to let my old self go

Hard to let my old self go
