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
