If I Never Knew You (From "Pocahontas")

If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

If I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right

We were right

For if I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you
