[00:19.85]If I hadn't been a quiet introspective kid
[00:21.88]If I hadn't been a nerd, wouldn't have met with him
[00:24.15]If we hadn't observed we'd be the best of friends
[00:26.57]That preferred the spoken word to the toke and binge
[00:29.16]If momma hadn't died when I was young
[00:31.39]Would me and sis been so tight from jump?
[00:33.93]If dad hadn't lost his mind to a disease
[00:36.25]Would I be up here askin' ya'll to notice me?
[00:38.77]In the dark times, didn't know where the path went
[00:41.48]I was close to the edge like Grand Master Flash said
[00:43.69]It was hands of my friends that held me back
[00:45.88]Yes, without them I'd MJ keep slidin' backwards
[00:48.47]Or be a hypocrite like some others have been
[00:50.86]If that and the other hadn't happened
[00:53.22]Don't know that I'd ever been Brer Rabbit
[00:55.52]Askin' how many if's between hero and has-been?
[00:58.08]If I, if I, if I had only known
[01:03.86]That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
[01:07.50]Now I know
[01:08.38]If I, if I, if I had only known
[01:13.06]I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
[01:17.14]Now I know, now I know
[01:19.05]Now I know, know, know
[01:21.34]Now I know, now I know
[01:23.72]Now I know, know, know
[01:27.02]If I hadn't grown up in the 80's
[01:29.30]Experiencing the various things that made me
[01:31.57]Would I still be standing center stage
[01:33.90]Trying to innovate new ways to demonstrate?
[01:36.35]If mommy-daddy hadn't turned off Mork and Mindy
[01:38.78]To inform us divorce was pending
[01:40.49]Would him and me have spent these 23 years in a frenzy
[01:43.56]Moving back and forth with such forceful energy?
[01:46.23]I remember when I was a little baby
[01:48.37]Lying there alone on my pillow casing
[01:50.71]Upset already I could feel the aging
[01:53.11]The urge to return was debilitating
[01:56.69]And maybe I'm still afraid and need to
[01:58.46]Cry a little harder for the world of play things
[02:00.46]Stop looking back on these silly day dreams
[02:02.80]Sing along with me if you feel the same way
[02:05.86]If I, if I, if I had only known
[02:10.83]That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
[02:14.40]Now I know
[02:15.46]If I, if I, if I had only known
[02:20.14]I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
[02:24.32]Now I know, now I know
[02:26.15]Now I know, know, know
[02:28.60]Now I know, now I know
[02:31.06]Now I know, know, know
[02:34.03]If I had known what awaited was unplanned
[02:36.38]If I had known the blade was in a loved one's hand
[02:38.61]If I had known of the possible injury
[02:41.03]If I had known the altar was meant for me
[02:43.41]But now I know nobody can predict events
[02:45.84]And now I know there's cracks in the picket fence
[02:48.29]Now I know that something else exists
[02:50.73]And now I know a life can be built from this
[02:53.74]If I had known emotions would still remain
[02:55.42]If I had known that time wouldn't heal the pain
[02:57.74]If I had known the intent of the injury
[03:00.35]If I had known the altar wasn't meant for me
[03:02.79]Now I know there's treasure hidden in these scars
[03:05.05]Now I know there's presence in an empty yard
[03:07.33]Now I know what it took for me to survive
[03:09.72]But now I know where to go to become alive
[03:13.19]If I, if I, if I had only known
[03:18.00]That I would be a lamb to the slaughter
[03:21.45]Now I know
[03:22.67]If I, if I, if I had only known
[03:27.36]I know, I bet it only makes me stronger
[03:30.95]Now I know, now I know
[03:33.38]Now I know, know, know
[03:35.75]Now I know, now I know
[03:38.14]Now I know, know, know
