Listen well, my son
Things I have learned growing old
Some may find you're a treasure
Some just want your heart of gold
They'll say nothing's for certain and they'll sound so certain
So on and so on it goes
Unreasonable men will find reason
and where they'll stop, nobody knows
But your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see, you'll have to be shown
Yeah, your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see,
when your eyes can't see, let it show you
Questions won't raise the dead,
and the answers won't clear your head
Peace is found in the pieces left by fathers to sons on their beds
Yeah, your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see, you'll have to be shown
Your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see,
when your eyes can't see, let it show you
You shall know the truth, and you shall know the truth
The truth will set you free
You shall know the truth, and you shall know the truth
The truth will set you free
Yeah, your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see, you'll have to be shown
Yeah, your heart knows things you don't know
What your eyes can't see,
when your eyes can't see, let it show you
Here, my son, the truth laid in your hand
But this is not the kind your mind can comprehend
This is not the kind your mind can comprehend
