Literal Translation
Disaster have you been near or a humanoid who has been near disaster, have you been near
pain which be powerful, have you felt it
pain which be so heavy, it causes you to collapse
I not want to hit tree, but humanoid which hit tree I know
I can hit tree, I think about
I want to hit tree, I think about
I not want to hit tree,
and not hitting tree causes me to be happy,
hitting tree be not good, I know
idea I recieve
Have you ever had chances be big
your strenght be bigger than everyones strenght, you want
you do or you die, have you had to choose
above everyone you go, you want
I not want to hit tree, but humanoid which hit tree I know
I can hit tree, I think about
I want to hit tree, I think about
I not want to hit tree, and not hitting tree causes me to be happy,
hitting tree be not good, I know
idea I recieve
coward I do not act like but I have never attempted
if I attempt, I succeed, I think
those who have attempted, look at and think when permited there I go
coward I seem to act like, and thing I find scare me.
I not want to hit tree, but humanoid which hit tree I know
I can hit tree, I think about
I want to hit tree, I think about
I not want to hit tree, and not hitting tree causes me to be happy,
hitting tree be not good, I know
idea I recieve
I not want to hit tree, but I purposely hit tree
I can hit tree, I think about
I want to hit tree, I think about
I not want to hit tree, but I purposely hit tree
hitting tree be not good, I know
not hitting tree causes me to be happy,
idea I recieve

Actual Lyrics
Have you ever been close to tragedy Or been close to folks who have?
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful So heavy you collapse
No? Well, I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get
Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high?
You need a strength most don't possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die?
You've got to rise above the rest No?
Well, I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get
I'm not a coward, I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was, I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
Never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
it makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get
Never had to but I'd better knock on wood
'cause I know someone who has,
which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I never had to, but I'd better knock on wood
'Cause I'm sure it isn't good
and I'm glad I haven't yet
That's the impression that I get
