That's How You Learn Lyrics

Here's that feeling again that creeps up like the tide

Of frailty and fear and desire

I always thought that on the top I could see far and wide

Now I'm just tired of feeling sick and tired

What has it come to? How did I get here?

I was so sure that I had it right

Where can I turn to? Who can I follow?

Now the future is way out of sight

That's how you learn

That's how you grow

I tried it all and now I know

That's how you learn

Despite all the show

Stay in the dance of all life and keep letting go

Like a dancer step by step, to the music around

In and out, together and apart

After the fall rise again, humbled and renewed

With compassion in your heart

Through tears and laughter, over and over

Defeat will teach more than winning the fight

In every season, a new beginning

Sometimes darkness is better than light

That's how you learn

That's how you grow

I tried it all and now I know

That's how you learn

Despite all the show

Stay in the dance of all life and keep letting go

Rich and wise man, how did you get there?

Good decisions, young man

But how did you learn to make good decisions?

Experience, young man

Pardon me Sir, how did you gain such experience?

He smiled and said: Bad decisions

That's how you learn

That's how you grow

I tried it all and now I know

That's how you learn

Despite all the show

Stay in the dance of all life and keep letting go

We look around us and we are so astonished to find

In this we are not alone

For many are leaving their Ego behind

Moving out of their comfort zone

Why should we worry, anxiously waiting?

We can't ever really fix our soul

No sense in fussing and agonizing

The truth is: We are not in control

That's how you learn

That's how you grow

I tried it all and now I know

That's how you learn

Despite all the show

Stay in the dance of all life and keep letting go
