Michael Robert McGuire If I'd Known lyrics

There's a small sad crowd of people
They're all paying last respects
Her mother weeps there softly
As her father's mind reflects

One brother and his sister
Too young to understand
Wondering why this had to happen
Could this have really been God's plan?

If I'd known…I would have done anything to save her
Would have shown…that I believed in her
Let her know…that there is no pain we can't overcome
And when you fight this world, you're not alone
Never on your own…If I'd known

Flowers lay above her body, but her spirit dances free
She smiles down from Heaven, now her eyes can finally see

Little girl with chestnut hair, clutching tight to a teddy bear

Childhood games without a care
Sometimes life just don't play fair

If I'd known…I would have done anything to save her
Would have shown…that I believed in her
Let her know…that there is no pain we can't overcome
And when you fight this world, you're not alone
Never on your own…If I'd known

If I'd known…I would have done anything to change it
Would have flown…to catch her in mid-air
Let her grow…into the woman she was to become
But she'll never have to fight this world alone
God needed one more angel for his own
So he called her home
If I'd known
