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 realy 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
