If I Never Knew You

If I never knew you
I would 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'd find in you
The missing part of me...

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear in 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

Somehow, we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
And, still, my heart is saying we were right
If I never knew you
(There's no moment I regret)
If I never knew your love
(Since the moment that we met)
I would have no inkling of
(If our time has gone too fast)
How precious life can be
(I've lived at last)

If I never knew you...
