How You Ever Gonna Know? by Garth Brooks

That old wind that's whippin' out there
It's whistlin' your tune
That wind blew pyramids to egypt
And footprints to the moon
And that old star that you've been wishin' on
Is shining mighty bright
It's a fire inside your heart
That's gonna lead you to the light

How you ever gonna know,
What's it like to live there?
How you ever gonna know, victory?
How you ever gonna know,
What it's like when dreams become reality?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold it?
How you ever gonna know, what it's like to dance?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never take the chance?

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 havin'
Lord, it has its sacrifice
But the gift that you're receiving
Is worth more than the price

How you ever gonna know,
What's it like to live there?
How you ever gonna know,
What you never know?
How you ever gonna know,
If you're down here doin'
What the good lord puts you here to do?
How you ever gonna know,
If you could have done it?
How you ever gonna know, how it feels to fly?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never dare to try?

Listen not to the critics,
Who put their own dreams on the shelf
If you wanna get the truth to admit it,
You've gotta find out for yourself
How you ever gonna know,
What it's like to be there?
How you ever gonna know,
If you're the best?

How you ever gonna know,
What you believe in if you don't put it to the test?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold it?
How you ever gonna know,
What'll never change it?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never chase the dream?

How you ever gonna know,
Your potential?
How you ever gonna know, how you ever gonna know,
What's it like when dreams become reality?
How you ever gonna know,
How it feels to hold her?
How you ever gonna know,
What it's like to dance?
How you ever gonna know,
If you never take the chance?
