How You Ever Gonna Know

[Verse 1] That old wind that's whipping out there It's whistling your tune That wind blew pyramids to Egypt And footprints to the moon And that old star that you been wishing on Is shining mighty bright But it's the fire inside your heart That's going to lead you to the light [Chorus] How you ever going to know What it's like to live there How you ever going to know victory How you ever going to know What it's like when dreams become reality How you ever going to know How it feels to hold her How you ever going to know What it's like to dance How you ever going to know If you never take a chance [Verse 2] You know failure isn't failure If a lesson from it's learned I guess love would not be love Without a risk of being burned Anything in life worth having Lord, it has its sacrifice But the gift that you're receiving Is worth more than a price How you ever going to know What it's like to live there How you ever going to know What you never knew How you ever going to know If you're down here doing What the good Lord put you here to do How you ever going to know If you could have done it How you ever going to know How it feels to fly How you ever going to know If you never dare to try Listen not to the critics Who put their own dreams on the shelf If you want to get the truth to admit it You got to find out for yourself How you ever going to know What it's like to be there How you ever going to know If you're the best How you ever going to know What you believe in If you don't put it to the test How you ever going to know How it feels to hold him How you ever going to know What living means How you ever going to know If you never chase the dreams [Chorus]
