Better Than I

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,
told you how to help me.
Now just when I could give it 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.
Now faith has made it easy
to see the best thing I can do
is put my trust in you.

You know better than I.
You know the way.
I've let go the need to know why,
for you know better than I.

I saw one cloud and thought it was the 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 let go the need to know why.
I'll take what answers you supply.

You know better than I.
(You know better than I.)
...than I.
