Father, oh, father please hear me, my song is a cry of desperation
All of the words I hear have lost their meaning
My life is a well of confusion drowned out by the sound of the lost and lonely
Only the voice inside speaks your name to me
If they only knew the things that I know, If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know, If they only could see the things that I see
My brothers at opposite tables, like fire and water against each other
Only a fool can't see the obvious ending
Are we as ashes to wildwood Is life just a fire that can only consume us
Is there no vision of love to bind us together
If they only knew the things that I know, If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know, If they only could see the things that I see
