I Knew

I knew you before you were created	The sad twisting trail of your fate	By decisions you would make--free will.
Why is it you would choose to create heaven?	One that would be your personal hell?	I knew about the parties late at night.
The secret whispers and the private delights.	I heard your lies before they formed.	I knew in time you would decide.
The choice you would make was in my knowledge	It hit hard.	Like a father who sees his child in danger.
My heart longs to protect.	But I know you must	Do your part.
