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.
