O're the life of me, you know I can't recall

My father giving 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 listening to a million questions, I felt like a fool to ask

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 understanding 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, pouring out their hearts

This old world has broken, I do the listening

I've seen what good it does

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 understanding 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

And say the more I learn, the more I learn how little that I know

But I'm close to understanding 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
