Less pain-painless

walkin' down the streets of my youth
lookin' here' an' there for somethin'
old not new

its laughter an' its pain come to my mind
yesterday's not always a good thing to
look for and find

'cause your pain will always become
more than you'd ever left behind

so now I'm wandering through my
past an' its pieces an' still I miss
that light I then had

it disappeared an' left me over night
never to reclaim its right to shine again
never that very bright

a thing of the past a lot of pain of what
I never had, but now shiftin' through the
leafs of my time

now I find my pain has become more or
less, painless, now I can shine again that
very bright maybe somewhere in time
