If We'd Never - Rod MacDonald
If we'd never come to know it
we'd have wandered through the years
while the dreams we vainly searched for
ever faintly disappeared
all the words carved on the mountains
would have never said enough
if we'd never come to know it
we'd have squandered all our love
oh i wonder are there many
who must live their lives alone
as they search the years and vainly
for some dream to call their own
in the prisons of their bodies
every day another test
if we'd never come to know it
we'd have been like all the rest
oh i wonder is there any
who will share this heart of mine
who will hold me in her arms
and guide me when i'm blind
who will be as one beside me
when the sunlight makes me whole
if we'd never come to know it
i'd have not known you at all
i awoke in a room of mirrors
as i wondered what to write
as i saw my face reflected
all these songs have their price
i can take the tears and the laughter
there's two sides to every door
if we'd never come to know it
i'd have never loved you more
