If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I find in you

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of raging lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

If I never knew you

I'd be safe, but half as real

Never knowing I could feel

A love so strong and true

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world right

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

But still my heart is saying we were right

We were right

And if I never knew you

If I never knew you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you
