Unknowing
We built our homes on what we thought was
Solid rock and laughed at what was
Left Of houses wrecked by rising
Tides they just weren't built to last
Then the house swung to-and-fro
Should we stay or should we go
So we built a boat out of its frame
Then we sailed away in
To the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
We began to chart a course to
Where we never thought that we could
Go before then the rain began to pour
Again of course
We could sail right through the rain
The ocean gives the ocean takes
There's nothing to surprise us anyway
Nothings certain out here
On the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
The question that's defined most of my life
Is whether you are on my side
And what that means
And could I know it by philosophy
Either way I'll never learn
While my feet freeze on the earth
I'll find a heading ship and crew
And through the fear we'll sail right in
To the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
Oh the great unknown
You are everything I've ever known
I've tried to worship certainty
But doubt keeps on convincing me
That you're the great unknown
Such deep unknowing calms my soul
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
Solid rock and laughed at what was
Left Of houses wrecked by rising
Tides they just weren't built to last
Then the house swung to-and-fro
Should we stay or should we go
So we built a boat out of its frame
Then we sailed away in
To the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
We began to chart a course to
Where we never thought that we could
Go before then the rain began to pour
Again of course
We could sail right through the rain
The ocean gives the ocean takes
There's nothing to surprise us anyway
Nothings certain out here
On the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
The question that's defined most of my life
Is whether you are on my side
And what that means
And could I know it by philosophy
Either way I'll never learn
While my feet freeze on the earth
I'll find a heading ship and crew
And through the fear we'll sail right in
To the great unknown
You lift me up fill me with fear and purpose
I wonder at the deep below
Your waves still move me while I float
Upon the great unknown
You hold your treasury within the darkness
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
Oh the great unknown
You are everything I've ever known
I've tried to worship certainty
But doubt keeps on convincing me
That you're the great unknown
Such deep unknowing calms my soul
Awhile ago I wanted truth
Now I want to know how to not know you
