Natalie Merchant - I May Know The Word

I may know the word
But not say it.
I may know the truth,
But not face it.
I may hear the sound,
Of a whisper, sacred and profound.
But turn my head, indifferent.

I may know the word,
But not say it.
I may love the fruit,
But not taste it.
I may know the way,
To comfort and to soothe all your fears.
But fold my hands, indifferent.

If i'm on my knees, i'm begging now
If i'm on my knees broken down
I'd be prayin' for dilverence
From the night into the day

But its okay
its okay.
its okay to me.

I may know the word
But not say it.
This may be the time
That I might waste it.
Lord this may be the hour
Something moved me,
someone proved me wrong
Before night comes, with indifference.

If I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If i'm on my knees, groping in the dark
I'd be prayin for dilverence
From the night, into the day.

(X2)

But its okay,
It's okay, but its okay.
To me.

I recognise the walls inside
I recognise them all
I'm placed between them
Until they fall.


????

in my head
tangled threads?
again and again
and again.
