I know a secret babe
Do you wanna know?
I know a secret babe
Promise not to tell?
All the words I'll say
Come from truth unknown
Who said I knew a thing about true love
It's a promise I can't keep
I know a secret chord to a song that hasn't played
I know the life of a man who hasn't been born
The torch has been passed down to the next
Who said I knew about why death hurts
It's the loss of love for me
Who said I knew about why we cry
And where do the tears come from?
The world's an open book
And I know how to read
But some words don't make much sense
I know why babe I know why some go mad
But I know why babe I know why some don't get sad
I know the voice that tells you right from wrong
Who said I knew the truth of governments
Its hidden 'neath the book of lies
Who said I knew about why wars start
And when will my own war end?
The world's an open book
And I know how to read
But some words don't make much sense
To where the wind blows
To where the rivers flow
To where the flowers rise
To where the rain falls
You won't find the truth
The truth is inside you
Who said I knew why we make art
And how emotions are portrayed
I know where where the wind will blow
And I know where a dog will rest its head
Where the sun goes following the moon
Who said I knew about why hearts break
Is it the lack of compassion?
Who said I knew about why we hate
It's a mystery to me
