Dar Williams
The One Who Knows
[Verse 1]
Time it was I had a dream
And you're that dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me
[Chorus]
You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
[Verse 2]
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle long
Before the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on
[Chorus]
You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
[Verse 3]
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
Wanna teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by so fast
[Chorus]
You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
