[Verse 1] If I knew why the sun did shine And If I knew the taste of ancient wine If I knew all these wonders There's one thing more I'd know I'd know the way we all should go [Verse 2] And if I knew the deepest ocean floor And If I knew the waves upon the shore If I knew all these wonders There's one thing more I'd know I'd know the way we all should go [Bridge] And if I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years I'd know the reason we are here [Verse 3] And if I knew the power of the Lord And where the gifts of heaven may be stored Yes, if I knew all these wonders There's one thing more I'd know I'd know the way we all should go [Bridge] And if I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years I'd know the reason why we're here [Verse 4] And if I knew the power of the Lord And where the gifts of heaven may be stored Yes, if I knew all these wonders There's one thing more I'd know I'd know the way we all should go
