God knows you ain't pretty,
God knows it's true.
God knows there ain't anybody
Ever gonna take the place of you.
.
God knows it's a struggle,
God knows it's a crime,
God knows there's gonna be no more water
But fire next time.
.
Bridge #1:
God didn't call it treason,
God didn't call it wrong,
It was supposed to last a season
But it's been so strong for so long.
.
God knows it's fragile,
God knows everything,
God knows it could snap apart right now
Just like putting scissors to a string.
.
Bridge #2:
God knows it's terrifying,
God sees it all unfold,
There's a million reasons for you to be crying
You been so bold and so cold.
.
God knows that when you see it,
God knows you've got to weep,
God knows the secrets of your heart,
He'll tell them to you when you're asleep.
.
God knows there's a river,
God knows how to make it flow,
God knows you ain't gonna be taking
Nothing with you when you go.
.
God knows there's a purpose,
God knows there's a chance,
God knows you can rise above the darkest hour
Of any circumstance.
.
God knows there's a heaven,
God knows it's out of sight,
God knows we can get all the way from here to there
Even if we've got to walk a million miles by candlelight.
