Better Than I

I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I choose 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

For 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 the 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
