The One Who Knows Lyrics

Dar Williams

Time it was I had a dream 

You're the dream come true 

If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you 



I'll take you to the mountains

I will take you to the sea 

I'll show you how this life became

A miracle to me 



You'll fly away 

But take my hand until that day 

So when they ask how far love goes 

When my job's done 

You'll be the one who knows



All the things you treasure most 

Will be the hardest won

I will watch you struggle long

Before the answers come 



But I won't make it harder

I'll be there to cheer you on 

I'll shine the light that guides you down 

The road you're walking on 



You'll fly away 

But take my hand until that day 

So when they ask how far love goes 

When my job's done 

You'll be the one who knows



Before the mountains call to you 

Before you leave this home 

I want to teach your heart to trust 

As I will teach my own 



But sometimes I will ask the moon 

Where it shined upon you last 

And shake my head and laugh and say 

It all went by so fast 



You'll fly away 

But take my hand until that day 

So when they ask how far love goes 

When my job's done 

You'll be the one who knows
