Story behind the song
The lyric was posted on a Christian songwriter's forum. It was so powerful that it demanded music. Painfully beautiful.
Lyrics
I'll Never Know ©Burton/Cuthbertson
She could have been a doctor
Prescribing helpful pills
He might have been a scientist
Curing deadly ills
I'll never know, never know a single thing
I'll never know the joy those bless-ed lives could bring
This pain I feel inside, for two lives I denied
Since I let them go, I'll never know
No sooner did it happen
Than my heart felt very cold
Emptiness where twins had been
Became a chasm in my soul
I'll never know, never know a single thing
I'll never know the joy those bless-ed lives could bring
This pain I feel inside, for two lives I denied
Since I let them go, I'll never know
She could have brought a note from school
About the Christmas play
He could have said "Mom, don't forget
I've got a game today"
I'm offering this simple prayer, though they never took a breath of air
God grant them passage through...to You
I'll never know, never know a single thing
I'll never know the joy those bless-ed lives could bring
There remains a void inside, from a choice that was my own
Since I let them go, I'll never know
