Lyric

The wind will blow, the rain will fall

We sway and shake, then crumble through it all

To those who watch from far away

I might look happy in the light of day

But hidden deep behind this painted smile

There are tears I’ve carried for a long, long while

Do you really know?

Do you see the truth I never show?

The snow will melt, the spring will arrive

But ice can linger, keeping cold alive

Time as it passes, they say it brings

The gentle healing of a thousand springs

But tucked away within the shadows of my soul

There’s a block of ice that I can’t control

Do you really know?

The frozen heart beneath the flow?

The sky will clear, the clouds will gray

The storm will howl and take the light away

If yesterday leads to today and then

To a bright tomorrow once again

That would be fine, that would be grace

But life is a mystery we can’t embrace

Do you really know?

That no one knows where the wind will blow?

No one can predict the turning of the tide

No one sees the secrets that we keep inside

We walk on a path with no map in our hand

On a shifting floor made of sinking sand

Tomorrow isn't promised, don't you see?

The uncertainty is our only certainty

Do you really know?

Do you know

Before I go?
