If you only knew what my life has been
Though honest pain and broken clouds
And if you knew, the words I sing
Would you keep my soul around

Though all this time my face turns blind
To each and every word that burns
And every time I see that light
So many lessons we need to learn

If you only knew how his life had been.
Buried hopes in every crown
And if you saw the world he weaves
In each and every battle scar

His life goes by and still he finds
He's hearing echoes through a path unknown
And As he writes his words in time
In his song... A simple hope

If you only knew what this life has been
Though dancing demons and rising light
And if you knew the pain they'd seen would you
Reign the wrongs and right

Though all this time our face turns blind
To each and every word that burns
And every time we see that light
Each lesson we need to learn

If you only knew what my life has been
Though honest pain and broken clouds
And if you knew, the words I sing
In this song for every man
