[00:00:00] Cuz if you want I'll tell the world

[00:00:00] If We Knew (Album Version) - Goapele

[00:00:01] Written by：Goapele Mohlabane/Joseph Epperson

[00:00:20] There was boy

[00:00:23] Bout two years old

[00:00:25] That's much too young

[00:00:27] Too see what would unfold

[00:00:31] His dad so bold

[00:00:33] So full of lies

[00:00:36] Caught up in things

[00:00:38] That would take his life

[00:00:41] He'd leave behind

[00:00:44] Old words unsaid

[00:00:47] His loved ones left

[00:00:49] To deal with it

[00:00:53] So when his boy got older

[00:00:56] With less than a little guidance

[00:00:59] Needed more assurance

[00:01:01] A little strength and courage

[00:01:03] But he knew what he knows now

[00:01:07] He may be with us still

[00:01:09] If he knew what he knows now

[00:01:13] Ooohhh

[00:01:13] There was girl

[00:01:16] Bout three years old

[00:01:19] To laugh and play

[00:01:21] Should have been what goes

[00:01:24] Her family moved

[00:01:27] From place to place

[00:01:29] Free spirits and

[00:01:31] Money they couldn't waste

[00:01:35] She'd be alone

[00:01:37] More times than few

[00:01:40] Too many men

[00:01:42] Trusted and out of view

[00:01:45] One took her in

[00:01:48] And used his mind

[00:01:50] Scarred her inside

[00:01:53] And changed her life

[00:01:57] So when she had daughters of her own

[00:02:00] Her memories could no longer escape her

[00:02:03] They affecetd all the choices that she would make

[00:02:08] But if she knew what she knows now

[00:02:11] She wouldn't take the blame

[00:02:13] If she knew what she knows now

[00:02:17] I was the girl

[00:02:20] Who felt so strong

[00:02:23] Bout anything

[00:02:25] In this world when I saw wrong

[00:02:28] I anyalyze

[00:02:30] Sometimes cry alone

[00:02:33] When it got too much

[00:02:35] I had a place to turn

[00:02:39] I wish that I

[00:02:41] Could heal your pain

[00:02:44] Capture your truth

[00:02:46] Secrets filled with shame

[00:02:54] All the things you couldn't say
