Ignorance Is Bliss?

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?

(Song - 'Ode To My Family' by The Cranberries)

i find the expression 'ignorance is bliss' interesting! Mufasa knew that his brother was a difficult and selfish being, but i can guarantee that he was unaware of what laid ahead. i'm sure if someone out there was trying to kill me, i'd want to know about it. I think they should have seen the red flags before it was too late, but sometimes it's harder to notice something when it's right in front of you.
