Lyrics

I thought I did what's right

I believed I was doing the right thing

I thought I had the answers

I believed I had all the solutions

I thought I chose the surest road

I thought I chose the most certain path

But that road brought me here

However, that path led me to my current situation

So I put up a fight

So, I resisted and explained how you should assist me

And told you how to help me

And instructed you on how to support me

Now just when I have given up

Now, at the point of giving up

The truth is coming clear

The truth is becoming evident

You know better than I

You have a better understanding than I do

You know the way

You know the right path

I've let go the need to know why

I have released the need to understand why

For you know better than I

Because you have a better understanding than I do

If this has been a test

If this situation was a test

I cannot see the reason

I cannot comprehend the purpose

But maybe knowing I don't know

But acknowledging my lack of knowledge is a step toward overcoming it

Is part of getting through

Trying to do what is best

I try to do what's best

Faith has made it simple

And faith has made it easy

To see that putting trust in you is the best course

To see the best thing I can do

Is the best action I can take

Is put my trust in you

For you have a better understanding than I do

For you know better than I

You know the right path

You know the way

I have released the need to understand why

I've let go the need to know why

Because you have a better understanding than I do

For you know better than I

You have insights beyond mine

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I mistook one obstacle for something much larger

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

I saw an opportunity and believed I could pursue it

But it was you who taught that bird to fly

Yet, it was you who taught me how to overcome challenges

If I let you reach me will you teach me?

If I allow you to influence me, will you guide me?

For you know better than I

Because you have a better understanding than I do

You know the way

You know the right path

I've let go the need to know why

I have released the need to understand why

I'll take what answers you supply

I will accept the answers you provide

You know better than I

Because you have a better understanding than I do
