Joe Williams - Who Knows lyrics

[Intro] Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Who knows? [Verse 1] When I was a baby child My daddy said to me Many mountains we must climb Before we'll be free But he never told me About the bruises on my knees How they would be the map that leads him where we need to be [Pre-Chorus] And oh that storm came down Forty days, forty nights [Chorus] Who knows What the thunder and lightning will bring Maybe the storm will cover my dreams Maybe the sun will shine no more Who knows Which way the wind is blowing And when we look back on these things We won't cry no more Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Who knows? [Verse 2] Wandering blindly Searching for the truth And anchored to a solid rock That we could hold on to But there's no tomorrow Not for everyone Who will hear your last harsh words When your time on earth is gone [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Outro] Whoa! Tilt the lamp now Don't let the wind blow it out Oh, guide the light, child Because one day it's going to shine Sing up until the darkness is lifted Sing up until the darkness is lifted
