29. Had I Only Known (Austin Tyl3R-Starburst) |
LyricsHad I Only Known© 2012 Austin Tyler/Starburst Had I known my life was ending I'd of planned accordingly Had I seen the darkness coming I'd of got down on my knees Had I seen the storm approaching With no reason for a cure Had I'd know my life was ending I would have prayed a whole lot more (chorus) Had I only known Had the prophets only told me Had I only known Had I seen the madness coming I could have picked a different view Had I known what I know now I would have been reborn anew Had I only known Had I only known Had I only known Had the promise seemed unbroken Had the wisdom come undone I'd of picked a different program Danced a lifetime just for fun Had the prophets and the poets Reached much deeper in my soul I'd of led a fight for freedom Not let failure take its toll (repeat chorus) (bridge) So the heaven's weave their magic Basking in the one true light While us mortals suffer tragic Misery in mere daylight (repeat chorus) |
| Short Song Description: Just as air movement from a butterfly's wings in Australia can trigger a series of events resulting in a typhoon in Southeast Asia, a human being's poor decision can have catastrophic impact upon the lives of himself, his family, the entire community, nay of the planet itself. To what depth can the bitter bile of regret reach? "Had I Only Known" explores the extent to which it becomes too late to wonder what it would have been like were we able to get the toothpaste back into the tube. |
