[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

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
