If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of raging lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I\'m so grateful to you
I\'d have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you
I\'d be safe, but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

And I\'m so grateful to you
I\'d have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we\'d make the whole world right
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
But still my heart is saying we were right
We were right

And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I\'d have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
