Better Not To Know Lyrics - How Mercy Looks From Here - Amy Grant

We sowed our seeds 

Watered with tears 

Waiting for signs of growth 

Took months of days 

And then took years. 

We took our steps 

We took our falls 

Somewhere along the way 

We just got lost 

And we lost it all. 

But nothing ventured, nothing gained 

The risk of living is the pain 

And what will be will be anyway 

Oh, it's better not to know 

The way it's gonna go 

What will die and what will grow. 

Goodbye more than hello 

It's better not to know 

Those tiny stems became these trees 

With dirt and storm 

And sun and air to breathe 

Like you and me. 

And some fell down 

And some grew tall 

And those surviving twenty winter thaws 

Have the sweetest fruit of all. 

But innocence and planting day 

Are both long gone 

So much has changed 

And if we had to do it all again 

Oh, it's better not to know 

The way it's gonna go 

What will die and what will grow. 

Oh, nothing stays the same 

Life flickers like a flame, 

As the seasons come and go 

Goodbye more than hello 

It's better not to know 

Is it better, better not to know? 

Is it better, (is it better), is it better? 

We sowed our seeds 

Watered with tears 

Oh, it's better not to know 

The way it's gonna go 

What will die and what will grow. 

Oh, nothing stays the same 

Life flickers like a flame, 

As the seasons come and go 

Goodbye more than hello 

What comes of what we sow 

It's better not to know 

It's better not to know 

We sowed our seeds 

Watered with tears
