If I Knew - Lyrics by Phil Ochs


Lyrics

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

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

If i knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I'd know the reason we are here

If i knew the power of the lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
If i knew all these wonders, there's one thing more i'd know
I'd know the way we all should go

If i knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I'd know the reason we are here

If i knew the power of the lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
If i knew all these wonders, there's one thing more i'd know
I'd know the way we all should go
