I WISH I’D KNOWN
© 2016 Will Berryman/Chuck Smeeton
When I was a young man
With not too much to say
I listened to my elders
It was the learned way
Taught the things that I should do
Not all of it was good
If I had my time again
I’m not sure that I would
(chorus)
I’ve reaped the seeds that I have sown
Regrets, I’ve got a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
Been chasing trouble all my life
Mistakes, I’ve made a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
I never served my time
But in my heart I know what’s due
A black mark on my soul
For all that I’ve been through
It’s the path that I must follow
No myths left to dispel
When the time of judgement comes
I know I’ll go to hell
(chorus)
I’ve reaped the seeds that I have sown
Regrets, I’ve got a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
Been chasing trouble all my life
Mistakes, I’ve made a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
(chorus)
I’ve reaped the seeds that I have sown
Regrets, I’ve got a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
Been chasing trouble all my life
Mistakes, I’ve made a few
I wish I’d known what you knew
