I KNOW

I know where you’ve been
I’ve seen what you’ve seen

You don’t know me well,
Just a short spell

In me you have a trusted friend
You’re secrets with me until the end

I only hope those days are over
Don’t be fearful of exposure

Forget the blame
Let go of shame

I know, and that’s okay
I still love you anyway

That all encompassing desire
That fills the belly with its fire

Makes us selfish with our need
Becomes the thing that feeds our greed

That twisted mental obsession
The only relief being possession

To need relief
Beyond all belief

Raging, roaring, gnawing pain
Makes us feel like we’re insane

I know, my friend
I know
But hear me now
I can show you how

To have a life beyond your wildest dreams
I hear you laugh. I know how this seems!

There can be freedom from this bondage
That is better than any mere bandage

So take my hand
and I'll show you a land

Where together we can do
what we cannot do alone

I only know this because I too was shown
and now, I know!
