Little Did He Know
Little Did He Know
He was not what everyone thought he was
Too often, he was silent, with a smile
We all thought he felt too good for us
As if coming down to our level
Was too much of a stretch, and
We just weren't worth the effort, but
Little Did We Know...
He always seemed so strong, and confident
As if he didn't need another soul to survive
A Rock firmly set in a world of swampland
We went to him when our heads were low
And it just seemed so comfortable, so right
We never imagined he was in pain, because
He seemed so above it all, but
Little Did We Know...
For, in his Darkest Hour
The times when friends
Would have been there to help
We weren't, 'cos we didn't know
And now....it's too late
We didn't know that he needed us
As much as we needed him
Or that when he was silent around us
It was because he was afraid
He was afraid he wasn't good enough
Or smart enough for us
He thought the only the only reason we tolerated him
Was for what we could get from him
But that wasn't it at all
There was just something about him
That made you want to be near him
He made you feel safe, and secure
Even when he was being quiet
He couldn't see that Magic in his Heart
That shone so brightly on us, like a Golden Sunrise
The only thing he could see were his failures,
His insecurities, and shortcomings
He couldn't see that we wanted to be with him
And that those things were overshadowed by
The Goodness that flowed from inside him
He thought he alone needed us, but
Little Did He Know...
