Do You Know Lyrics
Underneath the weight
Of a heavy sky
I will grow my wings
I will learn to fly
Cause even though my heart is
Big enough to fly away
Underneath the confidence
I will never say I'm strong enough
To be alone
Do you know do you know
Do you know how it feels to be angry
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Do you know
I will show no fear
I won't hide my scars
I will learn to give
I will love what's ours
Cause even though my heart is
Big enough to fly away
Underneath the confidence
I will never say I'm strong enough
To be alone
Do you know do you know
Do you know how it feels to be angry
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Will you trust in a better tomorrow
If you learn to forgive everyday
All the times that you thought could be trusted
In the end they could all fall away
Cause even though my heart is
Big enough to fly away
I am strong enough to be
Alone, alone
Do you know how it feels to be angry
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Will you trust
Will you learn
All the times that you thought you could be trusted
In the end they could all fall away
Of a heavy sky
I will grow my wings
I will learn to fly
Big enough to fly away
Underneath the confidence
I will never say I'm strong enough
To be alone
Do you know how it feels to be angry
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Do you know
I won't hide my scars
I will learn to give
I will love what's ours
Big enough to fly away
Underneath the confidence
I will never say I'm strong enough
To be alone
Do you know how it feels to be angry
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Will you trust in a better tomorrow
If you learn to forgive everyday
All the times that you thought could be trusted
In the end they could all fall away
Big enough to fly away
I am strong enough to be
Alone, alone
Do you know how it feels to be hurt
When you live all your life for a moment
Just to prove that you know what it's worth
Will you trust
Will you learn
All the times that you thought you could be trusted
In the end they could all fall away

I think this song was written about someone trying to recover from someone they loved very much leaving them. Perhaps it was written as Emerson was recovering from the divorce of his first wife, the one he wrote 'If You Could Only See' about.
I do know that this song helped me through a tough divorce of my own. I listened to it dozens of times as encouragement to believe in myself and that I would recover some day.
