Opposite Tables

Father, oh Father, please hear me
My song is a cry of desperation
All of the words I hear have lost their meanin'

My life is a well of confusion
Drowned out by the sound of the lost and lonely
Only the voice inside speaks Your name to me

If they only knew the things that I know
If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know
If they only could see the things that I see

If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)
If they only could see the things that I see

My brothers at opposite tables
Like fire and water against each other
Only a fool can't see the obvious endin'

Are we as ashes to wild wood?
Is life just a fire that can only consume us?
Is there no vision of love to bind us together?

If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)
If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)
If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)
If they only could see the things that I see
If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)
If they only could see the things that I see

If they only knew the things that I-
