There's So Much We Don't Know

[couchgrouch]

There's So Much We Don't KnowNight rolled up slowly like a long black limousineas I knelt there in the dark with a lonely bouquetdistant stars made life feel like such a desp'rate thingand like honey from a rock tears poured from this jar of clayI thought back on that preacher's fav'rite verseyet my loss felt like nothing but a cursecos there's so much we don't knowabout who we are or where we'll beand sometimes I feel so blindbecause all that shinescasts shadows the eye can't seefor all we taste and touchthere's just so muchthere's so much we don't knowas I walked the grounds back toward the cold iron gateI felt like a blade of grass in a field of timethen I thought of stars and roses and stopped and prayedcos being human means knowing the divinefor as much as I'll always miss my dadI learned walking by faith means accepting that there's so much we don't knowabout who we are or where we'll beand sometimes I feel so blindbecause all that shinescasts shadows the eye can't seefor all we taste and touchthere's just so muchthere's so much we don't know(c)2006 Robert George
