The One Who Knows Lyrics

Time it was I had a dream

And you're that dream come true.

If I had
the world to give

I'd give it all to you.

I'll take you to the
mountains,

I will take you to the sea.

I'll show you how this life
became a miracle to me.



You'll fly away, but take my hand until
that day.

So when they ask how far love goes

When my job's done
you'll be the one who knows.



All the things you treasure most

will be the hardest won.

I will watch you struggle long

before
the answers come.

But I won't make it harder, 

I'll be there to
cheer you on.

I'll shine the light that guides you down

The road
you're walking on.



You'll fly away,  but take my hand until that
day.

So when they ask how far love goes

When my job's done you'll
be the one who knows.



Before the mountains call to you,

before you leave this home,

Wanna teach your heart to trust

As I
will teach my own.

But sometimes I will ask the moon

Where it shined
upon you last

And shake my head and laugh and say

It all went by so
fast.



You'll fly away, but take my hand until that day.

So
when they ask how far love goes

When my job's done you'll be the one who
knows.
