LYRICS

Father, oh, father please hear meMy song is a cry of desperationAll of the words I hearHave lost their meaningMy life is a well of confusionDrowned out by the sound of the lost and lonelyOnly the voice insideSpeaks your name to meIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeMy brothers at opposite tablesLike fire and water against each otherOnly a fool can't seeThe obvious endingAre we as ashes to wildwoodIs life just a fire that can only consume usIs there no vision of loveTo bind us togetherIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I seeIf they only knew the things that I knowIf they only could see the things that I see
