Beginner's Mind
I once knew a karate master
His belt was faded and frayed
Once black, it turned back to white
That was the point, he said
It served as a reminder
To go back to the start
Always be a learner
And keep a humble heart
The more I know I realize
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The farther I go, the more I find
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The aged theologian, renowned across the world
Gave his final teaching in the great lecture hall
All the books that he'd written, and lofty things he'd been shown
All boil down to this, he said: Jesus loves me, this I know
The more I know I realize
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The farther I go, the more I find
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities
But in the expert's mind there are few
His belt was faded and frayed
Once black, it turned back to white
That was the point, he said
It served as a reminder
To go back to the start
Always be a learner
And keep a humble heart
The more I know I realize
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The farther I go, the more I find
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The aged theologian, renowned across the world
Gave his final teaching in the great lecture hall
All the books that he'd written, and lofty things he'd been shown
All boil down to this, he said: Jesus loves me, this I know
The more I know I realize
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
The farther I go, the more I find
I've got to keep a beginner's mind
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities
But in the expert's mind there are few
