Lyrics

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
