Knowledge

Come walk with me, walk with me my dear.
I will tell you, tell you of the world.
Tell you of its wonders, tell you of its tales.
Tell you of the people, tell you of the places.
I'll tell you of the simple things, the ones that trouble us.
The things that need explaining, explaining through and through.
Explain to you the silly things, that keep us up at night.
Explain to you why young birds must take flight.

Come sit with me, come sit with me my dear.
Our world is hard to understand, and only one thing does compare.
Time itself is complex as can be, confusing us is hardly what I'd call fair.
Holding its mysteries, hidden from our eyes.
Being so majestic, yet its all a disguise.

Come listen to me, listen to me my dear.
I could tell you all these things, if only we had time.
I would tell you all of this, all of this and more.
But how I came to know this? Well that's a story for another time.
