Lyrics Brother Cane

Brother Cane

Where Was I To Know

How many times have I said to myself,

This means nothing to me?

What doesn't kill, only makes me stronger,

So comforting to believe.

But in these strange days I find,

That I'm a ghost, in my own life.

Can you forgive these blood-stained hands,

And trust the scars have healed out of sight?

Where was I to know

You were running out of reasons?

Afraid to just let go,

We were crashing into pieces.

But where was I, where was I to know?

And I'm so tired of feeling sick and tired;

Shattered to my very soul.

A dying light in a coal black sky;

I'm too young to feel so old.

With hungry voices, we stand in a circle,

Chalked upon the floor.

We're waiting for grace; is it all in vain?

Or do we count the ways once more?

Where was I to know

You were running out of reasons?

Afraid to just let go,

We were crashing into pieces.

But where was I to know?

I'm humbled by your patience.

In time, the spirit grows.

Will bring me to your garden.

But where was I, where was I to know?
