FOR THE LIFE OF ME
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T RECALL
MY FATHER
GIVIN' MIGHTY
WORDS OF WISDOM
BUT THE MORE I LIVE I SEE
THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
IS HOW I ALWAYS KNEW FOR SURE
HE WAS LISTENIN'
TO A MILLION QUESTIONS
I... FELT LIKE A FOOL TO ASK
AND WHEN I'D ASK HIM
FOR AN ANSWER
HE'D JUST LAUGH
AND SAY THE MORE I LEARN
THE MORE I LEARN
HOW LITTLE THAT I KNOW
BUT I'M CLOSE
TO UNDERSTANDIN'
JUST HOW FAR I HAVE TO GO
WE GIVE OUR HEARTS
WE TAKE OUR CHANCES
AND KNOW THE FOOL
AIN'T THE ONE
WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS
TO TELL THE TRUTH
IT'S SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES THEY
HAVE THE ANSWER
IN THE YEARS SINCE THEN
WHEN MY CHILDREN COME
POURIN' OUT THEIR HEARTS
THIS OLD WORLD HAS BROKEN
I DO THE LISTENIN'
I'VE SEEN WHAT GOOD IT'S DONE
WHEN LESS NOT MORE IS SPOKEN
AND WHEN THEY PRESS ME HARD
TO TELL THEM
WHAT THE ANSWER IS
I REMEMBER WELL
AND SIMPLY OFFER THIS
AND SAY THE MORE I LEARN
THE MORE I LEARN
HOW LITTLE THAT I KNOW
BUT I'M CLOSE
TO UNDERSTANDIN'
JUST HOW FAR I HAVE TO GO
WE GIVE OUR HEARTS
WE TAKE OUR CHANCES
AND KNOW THE FOOL
AIN'T THE ONE
WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS
TO TELL THE TRUTH
IT'S SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES THEY
HAVE THE ANSWERS
AND SAY THE MORE I LEARN
THE MORE I LEARN
HOW LITTLE THAT I KNOW
BUT I'M CLOSE
TO UNDERSTANDIN'
JUST HOW FAR I HAVE TO GO
WE GIVE OUR HEARTS
WE TAKE OUR CHANCES
AND KNOW THE FOOL
AIN'T THE ONE
WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS
TO TELL THE TRUTH
IT'S SOMEONE WHO
BELIEVES THEY
HAVE THE ANSWER
