(eric carmen) It's been a long time comin' But I think I've got it figured out Sometimes the easiest things are still The hardest ones to learn about Well I was strugglin' so hard for my freedom And it was there all the time But I just couldn't see it I think I found myself I think I found what I'm lookin' for I think I found myself (don't you know) I think I found what I'm lookin' for Well I got sidetracked somewhere Though I really can't recall just when I lost my inspiration And I couldn't get it back again (no) I trusted everyone else so completely Well I was deafdumb and blind But I'll be damned if I'll let 'em defeat me I think I found myself (don't you know) I think I found what I'm lookin' for I think I found myself (don't you know) I think I found what I'm lookin' for I'm tired of tricks and politics And futures burning bright I'm on the line and out of time For once in my life I'm gonna do what I think is right I think I found myself (don't you know) I think I found what I'm lookin' for I think I found myself I think I found what I'm lookin' for
