Album: I LIKE TO SING | Song lyrics to: I DON'T KNOW
"I DON'T KNOW"
Verse 1
How tall is the tallest tree?
How small is the smallest bee?
Who was first to clap their hands,
Or sing in harmony?
Verse 2
How far is the farthest star,
Names of each, and where they are?
These, and many other things,
I don't know.
Chorus
I don't know even a tiny bit
Of all there is to know.
I don't know what I will do today,
Much less tomorrow.
But I know this one important fact,
And it works the best:
That loving God and others is
The key to happiness.
Verse 3
How many fish live in the sea?
How do I write a symphony?
These are things that I don't know,
But I'm still a happy soul.
Verse 4
I'm learning to speak thoughtfully,
To treat others lovingly,
What more could I want to be?
I don't know.
Repeat Chorus
Chorus [Acappella]
I don't know even a tiny bit
Of all there is to know.
I don't know what I will do today,
Much less tomorrow.
But I know this one important fact,
And it works the best:
That loving God and others is
The key to happiness.
This I know: That loving God
And others is the key to happiness.
