Joel Glenn Wixson - What I Know Now Lyrics

When I was young and blind and free
There were some things 'bout living life I could not see
And I believed that I could tell what mattered
Mostly by the way that it served me

But when you're selfish you don't know
That everything that you give begins to grow
And that the good things and the bad comes with you
Everywhere you go
If I knew then what I know now

If I knew the what I know now
I'd more patience for the angry ones some how
I'd have compassion for the lonely ones
Who tried to drag me down
If I knew then what I know now

And so the days turn into years
And the things I've done turn into all my fears
And what I think I know gets changed
By all the laughter and the tears

And by and by I start to see
That there are things about the way it's supposed to
That keep me searching for what I don't have
And missing what is right in front of me
If I knew then what I know now

Now is where you find the place
Where you can just belong
Now is where you find yourself
Because you've been here, all along

If I knew then what I know now

When you are young and blind and free
There will be things 'bout living life you can not see
But you will come to know, with patience
You're exactly where you're supposed to be
