They Don't Know Lyrics

They think I am a fraud
They think that I'm a fool
They think that I'm old and hard
They don't mean to be cruel
They think that I am feeble,
That I cost more than I give
They don't see how they need me
How I help them all to live

They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know I keep them safe and free
They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know, and that's how it should be

They know there's no alarm
They know that they are right
They know that they can hide from harm
That they won't have to fight
They know just how to thatch a roof
Or keep a garden tilled
They know they know they're sure they know
It just might get them killed

They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know I keep them safe and free
They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know, and that's how it should be
They don't know that this life is not my choice
Or all I've had to give
I was brave enough to fight or die
And I'm brave enough to live

They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know I keep them safe and free
They don't know they need
They don't know I serve
They don't know, and that's how it should be

They don't know, and that's how it must be
