i know

everybody's talkin' in the homeroom

plans are being made for after school

should you tell them how you're really feelin'

or go along and play it cool

well

i know

i know

how it feels

i know

i know

everybody's talkin'

about a good time

something tells you something isn't right

but when you're lonely and the pressure's on you

it's really hard to stand and fight

well

i know

i know

how you feel

torn between the mind of the crowd

and the matters of the heart

i know

i know

how you feel

i know

i know

there's a light that holds you in the darkness

there's a candle burning in the wind

and if you can lean upon the father

you can find the strength within

well

i know

i know

that you can

now it seems like everybody's against you

and no one really cares

you don't know who to trust

you don't know where to turn

well at least you know you've got a prayer

so reach out for the one who understands you

oh

he's been there

he knows

he knows

how you feel

well

i know

that he knows

he knows

i know

i know

that he knows
