"If I Knew" lyrics

"If I Knew"

And here's, um, "If I Knew."

If I knew why the sun did shine
And If I knew the taste of ancient wine
If I knew all these wonders
There's one thing more I'd know
I'd know the way we all should go

And if I knew the deepest ocean floor
And If I knew the waves upon the shore
If I knew all these wonders
There's one thing more I'd know
I'd know the way we all should go

And if I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I'd know the reason we are here

And if I knew the power of the Lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
Yes, if I knew all these wonders
There's one thing more I'd know
I'd know the way we all should go

And if I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I'd know the reason why we're here

And if I knew the power of the Lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
Yes, if I knew all these wonders
There's one thing more I'd know
I'd know the way we all should go
