I Know

Trina Hamlin

A story lies behind your eyes

And I know

A story lies behind your pride

And I know



These things we hold indefinitely

Wanting to be free

The strings we tie remind us

over and over again



I wanted to write the world for you

Give you new eyes to see

I wanted to right the world for you

To set you free



A history built on a thousand lies

And I know

A history fallen from seeded skies

And I know



Desperately wanting identity

Hoping for what could be

Clinging to reach ahead and see

While falling all over the past



I wanted to write the world for you

Give you new eyes to see

I wanted to right the world for you

To set you free
