If I Knew Songtext

von Phil Ochs

If I knew why the sun did shine
And if I knew the taste of ancient wine
If I knew all these wonders, there’s one thing more I’d know
I’d know the way we all should go

If I knew the deepest ocean floor
And if I knew the waves upon the shore
If I knew all these wonders, there’s one thing more I’d know
I’d know the way we all should go

If I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I’d know the reason we are here

If I knew the power of the lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
If I knew all these wonders, there’s one thing more I’d know
I’d know the way we all should go

If I knew the seasons and the wisdom of the years
I’d know the reason we are here

If I knew the power of the lord
And where the gifts of heaven may be stored
If I knew all these wonders, there’s one thing more I’d know
I’d know the way we all should go
