In circles of silence my mind quietly turns Recalling all that you taught me to learn The harder the lesson the tougher the trial But love you're the teacher and I am the child At times when I found myself lost on my own I've cursed you believing you'd left me alone The greater my anger the kinder your smile For love you're the teacher and I am the child I've changed with the seasons and grown with the years Learning to love at the cost of your tears But if you'll look closely the changes you'll see Are all of the good things you brought out in me So look at the woman you've touched with your soul For you had a hand in the making and mold The rougher the edges the smoother the life For love you're the teacher and I am the child Yes love you're the teacher and I am the child
