They gave me wisdom, they showed the way
Leadership speaking truth every day
But I turned away, thought I knew best
Ignored the counsel, failed the test
Speaking on things I never understood
Claiming knowledge where I never stood
Talking about what these eyes never seen
Lost in confusion, chasing empty dreams
Had I known, had I known
Had I known, had I known
They said stay focused on your calling true
Invest in children, let wisdom guide you through
But pride deceived me, made me drift away
Now I'm looking back at wasted days
Could have grown stronger, could have touched more lives
Could have been the teacher that helps them rise
But I was stubborn, wouldn't hear the voice
Now I'm praying for a second choice
Had I known, had I known
I should have followed what they showed
Had I known, had I known
I wouldn't be standing here alone
Thank You my Headteacher, yes
Now I see the way, Wonderful
Had I known, had I known
But it's not too late to turn around
Grace is waiting to be found
Had I known, but now I know
