Will I Know You Before I Die

WILL I KNOW YOU BEFORE I DIE

When I was born I couldn’t know
But I learned, as I got older, I didn’t have a dad
Most times I was OK with that
Sometimes I’d cry and other times
I would just be mad
Now I can’t help but wonder,
Do you walk the streets I do
Would I recognize the man who left
If I bumped into you

CHORUS: Will I ever see your face
And do you sing Amazing Grace in the choir
Do you even think of me
Deep down inside that’d be my desire
You are my father
And I don’t mean to be a bother
Will I see me, if I look into your eyes
Will I know you, before I die

I ran away from home
Learned things I had never known, I found love, one heartbreak at a time
Every day my load gets lighter
And my light shines a little brighter, some days I even feel just fine
But the question always lingers, did you leave because of me
I keep looking for some answers, it’s too late for apologies

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:I’ll live my life not knowing
What might have been if you’d been there for me
But when your life is over
I wouldn’t be surprised
If your last prayer might be

CHORUS: Will I ever see your face
Will I sing Amazing Grace in your choir
Will there be a place for me
Deep down inside that’d be my desire
Please forgive me Father
I don’t mean to be a bother
Will I see me, if I look into your eyes
Will I know you, before I die
