The song The One Who Knows is performed by Dar Williams in the album named The Beauty of the Rain in the year 2003 .
Time it was I had a dream
And you're that dream come true
An' if I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me
You'll fly away but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle long
Before the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on
You'll fly away but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
Wanna teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
"It all went by so fast"
You'll fly away, but take my hand until that day
(Until that day)
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows
