If only I had known, yes Sir
I would've walked a different road
Sat in the back when I should've been in front
Played when I should've been studying hard
Thought I had all the time in the world, Oh my God!
Now I'm looking back with regret in my heart
Missed every chance that the teacher gave
Ignored the wisdom, didn't listen to a word they said
Now the test is here and I'm unprepared
Crying out to God, wishing I had cared
Had I known, had I known
I would've changed my ways, Sir
Had I known, had I known
Wouldn't have wasted all those days
Now I'm standing here alone
Wishing I could go back home
Had I known, Oh Sir, had I known
Every assignment I threw to the side
Every late night I chose to slide
Thought the deadline was so far away, Oh Sir.
Now I'm paying for the games I played
But there's mercy in the lesson learned
Grace enough to make a brand new turn
God's not finished with my story yet,
This failure's just a setup for my comeback
Had I known, had I known
I would've changed my ways,Oh Sir
Had I known, had I known
Wouldn't have wasted all those days
Now I'm standing here alone
Wishing I could go back home
Had I known, yes Sir, had I known
But now I know,
And I won't let it go, Thanks Teachers
Now I know
