A
Father, oh, father please hear me

   A
My song is a cry of desperation

D                                       A
All of the words I hear have lost their meaning

   A
My life is a well of confusion

        A
Drowned out by the sound of the lost and lonely

D                                 A
Only the voice inside speaks your name to me
[Chorus]
E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see

E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see

E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know (You are only every thing that I know)

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see
[Verse 2]
   A
My brothers at opposite tables

     A
Like fire and water against each other

D                                 A
Only a fool can't see the obvious ending

A
Are we as ashes to wildwood?

   A
Is life just a fire that can only consume us?

D                                       A
Is there no vision of love to bind us together?
[Chorus]
E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know (You are only every thing that I know)

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see

E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know (You are only every thing that I know)

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see

E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know (You are only every thing that I know)

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see

E                                  A
 If they only knew the things that I know (You are only every thing that I know)

E                                         A
 If they only could see the things that I see
