I Know What I Know

I know what I know because I saw the truth,
But you insist that it was a lie.
I know what I know because your heart told me before,
But your mind is telling you not to listen.
You keep telling me not to believe the truth which is what you call a lie,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

I know what I know because I hang back listening to my heart and not my mind,
But you on the other hand listen to your mind which is far gone in the game.
I know what I know because I once did what you do,
And you, yourself brought me back to see the light.
But you still try to force me not to believe the truth which is what you call a lie,
But I know what I know if you know what I mean.

I know what I know because your soul is still crying out for help,
But you won't listen to it because of the life you have made for yourself.
I know what I know because I followed my heart and it led me out of darkness,
But you won't listen to me yours because you play hide and seek in the darkness.
You try to bring me in but it work on me
Because I know what I know if you know what I mean.

I know what I know and eventually it will all go away,
But you have to make a change for yourself in order for it to work.
I know what I know and when it's all gone and you can't take no more,
You'll be standing alone with a cry for help and no one to be found.
You stand alone because I, the light, tried to tell you the truth
Because, I know what I know if you know what I mean.
