I thought I did what's right I thought I had the answers I thought I chose the surest road But that road brought me here So I put up a fight And told you how to help me Now just when I have given up The truth is coming clear You know better than I You know the way I've let go the need to know why For you know better than I If this has been a test I cannot see the reason But maybe knowing I don't know Is part of getting through I try to do what's best And faith has made it easy To see the best thing I can do Is put my trust in you You know better than I You know the way I've let go the need to know why For you know better than I I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky I saw a bird and thought that I could follow But it was you who taught that bird to fly If I let you reach me will you teach me For You know better than I You know the way I've let go the need to know why I'll take what answers you supply You know better than I
