Better Not to Know
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
Waiting for signs of growth
Took months of days
And then took years.
We took our steps
We took our falls
Somewhere along the way
We just got lost
And we lost it all.
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
The risk of living is the pain
And what will be will be anyway
Oh, it's better not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die and what will grow.
Goodbye more than hello
It's better not to know
Those tiny stems became these trees
With dirt and storm
And sun and air to breathe
Like you and me.
And some fell down
And some grew tall
And those surviving twenty winter thaws
Have the sweetest fruit of all.
But innocence and planting day
Are both long gone
So much has changed
And if we had to do it all again
Oh, it's better not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die and what will grow.
Oh, nothing stays the same
Life flickers like a flame,
As the seasons come and go
Goodbye more than hello
It's better not to know
Is it better, better not to know?
Is it better, (is it better), is it better?
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
Oh, it's better not to know
The way it's gonna go
What will die and what will grow.
Oh, nothing stays the same
Life flickers like a flame,
As the seasons come and go
Goodbye more than hello
What comes of what we sow
It's better not to know
It's better not to know
We sowed our seeds
Watered with tears
