If I Never Knew You
[JOHN]
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be

If I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I find in you
The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you

[POCAHONTAS]
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
For-
[POCAHONTAS & (JOHN)]
If I never knew you (There's no moment I regret)
If I never knew this love (Since the moment that we met)
I would have no inkling of (If our time has gone to past)
How precious life can be (I've lived at last)

[JOHN]
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky

[POCAHONTAS]
Never knowing why

[BOTH]
Lost forever
If I never knew you
