Isley Brothers - Speechless lyrics

Looking back at the road so far

The journey's left its share of scars

Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight

Looking back it is clear to me

That a man is more than the sum of his deeds

And how you make good of this mess I've made

Is a profound mystery

(Chorus)

Looking back you know

You had to bring me through

All that I was so afraid of

Though I questioned the sky now I see why

Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view

Looking back I see the lead of love

Looking back I can finally see

How failures bring humility

(I'd rather have wisdom and pain)

Brings me to my knees

(Than be a comfortable old fool)

Helps me see my need for thee

(repeat chorus)
