All That's Known

All that's known
In History, in Science
Overthrown
At school, at home, by blind men.

You doubt them
And soon they bark and hound you
Till everything you say is just another bad about you.

All they say
Is "Trust in What is Written"
Wars are made
And somehow that is wisdom.

Thought is suspect
And money is their idol
And nothing is okay unless it's scripted in their Bible.

But I know
There's so much more to find
Just in looking through myself
And not at them.

Still, I know
To trust my own true mind
And to say: there's a way through this.

On I go
To wonder and to learning
Name the stars and know their dark returning.

I'm calling
To know the world's true yearning
The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown.

You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling
And one day all will kno

You watch me
Just watch me
I'm calling, I'm calling
And one day all will know.
