If We Knew (Album Version) - Goapele
Written by：Goapele Mohlabane/Joseph Epperson
There was boy
Bout two years old
That's much too young
Too see what would unfold
His dad so bold
So full of lies
Caught up in things
That would take his life
He'd leave behind
Old words unsaid
His loved ones left
To deal with it
So when his boy got older
With less than a little guidance
Needed more assurance
A little strength and courage
But he knew what he knows now
He may be with us still
If he knew what he knows now
Ooohhh
There was girl
Bout three years old
To laugh and play
Should have been what goes
Her family moved
From place to place
Free spirits and
Money they couldn't waste
She'd be alone
More times than few
Too many men
Trusted and out of view
One took her in
And used his mind
Scarred her inside
And changed her life
So when she had daughters of her own
Her memories could no longer escape her
They affecetd all the choices that she would make
But if she knew what she knows now
She wouldn't take the blame
If she knew what she knows now
I was the girl
Who felt so strong
Bout anything
In this world when I saw wrong
I anyalyze
Sometimes cry alone
When it got too much
I had a place to turn
I wish that I
Could heal your pain
Capture your truth
Secrets filled with shame
Cuz if you want I'll tell the world
All the things you couldn't say
