BETTER NOT TO KNOW
Amy Grant
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
Waiting for signs of growth
Took months of days
And then took years
We took our steps
We took our falls
Somewhere along the way
We just got lost
And we lost it all
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
The risk of living is the pain
And what will be will be anyway...
Oh, its better not to know
The way its gonna go
What will dies and what will grow
Goodbye more than hello
It's better not to know
Those tiny stems became these trees
With dirt and storm and sun and air to breathe,
Like you and me...
And some fell down
And some grew tall
And those surviving twenty winter thaws
Had the sweetest fruit of all...
But innocence and planting day
Are both long gone
So much has changed
And if we had to do it all again.
Oh, its better not to know
The way its going to go
What will die and what will grow
Oh nothing stays the same
Life flickers like a flame
As the seasons come and go
Goodbye (Goodbye) more than hello
It's better not to know...
Is it better, better not to know?
Is it better, (is it better), is it better?
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears...
Oh, its better not to know
The way its going to go,
What will die and what will grow,
Goodbye more than hello...
Its better not to know
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears...
