If We Knew (Album Version) - Goapele[00:00:00]
Written by:Goapele Mohlabane/Joseph Epperson[00:00:01]
There was boy[00:00:20]
Bout two years old[00:00:23]
That's much too young[00:00:25]
Too see what would unfold[00:00:27]
His dad so bold[00:00:31]
So full of lies[00:00:33]
Caught up in things[00:00:36]
That would take his life[00:00:38]
He'd leave behind[00:00:41]
Old words unsaid[00:00:44]
His loved ones left[00:00:47]
To deal with it[00:00:49]
So when his boy got older[00:00:53]
With less than a little guidance[00:00:56]
Needed more assurance[00:00:59]
A little strength and courage[00:01:01]
But he knew what he knows now[00:01:03]
He may be with us still[00:01:07]
If he knew what he knows now[00:01:09]
Ooohhh[00:01:13]
There was girl[00:01:13]
Bout three years old[00:01:16]
To laugh and play[00:01:19]
Should have been what goes[00:01:21]
Her family moved[00:01:24]
From place to place[00:01:27]
Free spirits and[00:01:29]
Money they couldn't waste[00:01:31]
She'd be alone[00:01:35]
More times than few[00:01:37]
Too many men[00:01:40]
Trusted and out of view[00:01:42]
One took her in[00:01:45]
And used his mind[00:01:48]
Scarred her inside[00:01:50]
And changed her life[00:01:53]
So when she had daughters of her own[00:01:57]
Her memories could no longer escape her[00:02:00]
They affecetd all the choices that she would make[00:02:03]
But if she knew what she knows now[00:02:08]
She wouldn't take the blame[00:02:11]
If she knew what she knows now[00:02:13]
I was the girl[00:02:17]
Who felt so strong[00:02:20]
Bout anything[00:02:23]
In this world when I saw wrong[00:02:25]
I anyalyze[00:02:28]
Sometimes cry alone[00:02:30]
When it got too much[00:02:33]
I had a place to turn[00:02:35]
I wish that I[00:02:39]
Could heal your pain[00:02:41]
Capture your truth[00:02:44]
Secrets filled with shame[00:02:46]
All the things you couldn't say[00:02:54]
