If You Only Knew
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you only knew
What we've been through
To get this far
You wouldn't be so cool
So cruel
So clever
If you only knew
What we've been through
To save this star
You wouldn't be so cold
So bold
So together
Time was once I told you
They bought and sold us round
But we will keep surviving
Love will keep reviving those who've drowned
Don't let us down
All our fathers have fallen for a dream
Don't give up ground
Surely you've been where we've been
And it's not a crazy dream
No, it's not a crazy dream
If you only knew
What we've been through
To get this far
You wouldn't be so cool
So cruel
So clever
If you only knew
What we've been through
To save this star
You wouldn't be so cold
So bold
So together
Time was once I told you
They bought and sold us round
But we will keep surviving
Love will keep reviving those of us who've drowned
So don't let us down
For our fathers have fallen for a dream
Don't give up now
Surely you've been where we've been
And it's not a crazy dream
No, it's not a crazy dream
If you only knew
What we've been through
To get this far
You wouldn't be so cool
So cruel
So clever
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
