I Know What I Know

I know what I know,



I see what I see



And whatever will be and not be



Is not up to me;



I struggle and strain



Again and again



While the power that makes and breaks things



Works effortlessly.







I know what I know.







I scheme and I try,



I grab at the sky,



But my urge for that whole control thing



Will never fulfill;



I dream and I plan,



I do what I can,



But whatever gets done and not done



Is strictly God's will.







I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.







I know what I know,



Though I can't speak for you,



I know what I know



Yeah, from my point of view...







The man in the moon



Would sing a new tune,



But he can't rearrange or change things



And nobody can



Alone on their own;



I see what I'm shown



And the power to mold and hold things



Is out of my hands.







I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.



I know what I know.
