only knew you

 

I look around

And what I see

Is all that I’m not

Staring back at me

This is not the life that I dreamed

 

I don’t know how you found me

But you shook my soul

In my hour of need

You gave me a reason to believe

 

I only knew you for a little while

But you spoke to me

And you changed my life

And I’m forever grateful

I only knew you for a little while

But you opened my eyes

To this ray of light

And it’s beautiful

 

It’s all too easy

To lose your faith

In this darkened world

That you can’t embrace

When it all appears so out of reach

I don’t know where you came from

But you gave me hope

When I had none

You gave me reason to believe

 

I only knew you for a little while

But you spoke to me

And you changed my life

And I’m forever grateful

I only knew you for a little while

But you opened my eyes

To this ray of light

And it’s beautiful

 

I look around

But now I see

That all I needed

Is inside of me

You gave me reason to believe

 

I only knew you for a little while

But you spoke to me

And you changed my life

And I’m forever grateful

I only knew you for a little while

But you opened my eyes

To this ray of light

And it’s beautiful…
