I KNOW

"I KNOW"

Emotions rain overflows the windows to your soul
Forging rivers slowly down your face
Emptiness too small a word, to describe the echo heard
Lingering inside this hollow space

And the hurt it shows the way it grows
Feeding on your heart
Your mind searches through every clue
Of how it got its start

(chorus)
I KNOW what you’re feeling
I KNOW what’s inside
Emotions stirring deep within a memory you hide
Days of pain squeeze tightly
Ears numb from silent screams
Nowhere to run and losing sight of all your cherished dreams.

Silent rocking all alone while on the edge of time
Wondering how long this all will last
Hope is keeping up with stride, yet kicking at the hurt inside
Pain revealed creeping forward from the past

But the line of time doesn’t fit the rhyme
It circles round instead
The battle here is all too clear
Picture perfect in your head

(repeat chorus)

Still emotions rain overflows the windows to your soul
Forging rivers slowly down your face
I want to let it be known, that you’re not alone
Hope is something that we can embrace

Now the pain and fear throughout the year
Are signs that you’re alive
If you take a chance on the circumstance
You’ll know you can survive

(different chorus)
I KNOW what your feeling
I KNOW what’s inside
Emotions over whelm the heart, fight them off ah man you’ve tried
And oh someone to confide in
Just don’t know who
I turn to God every time I felt the same way too.
