 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
 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
