I Wonder How I Know

I Wonder How I Know © Sun PK - Winner of the 2002 Onion River Radio songwriting contest

The other day the sky was grey and brown

Made me wonder why God leaves us hangin’ around

To me it’s so sad

Some people seem to think it’s good to be bad

The grey and brown turned into want and need

And the walls appeared as I asked about the axis of greed

That makes the world spin

Thought I heard someone say, "inquire within"

So I planned a little trip - it doesn’t matter where

Here’s an answer or two I found there

Chorus:

Y’only hear if you’re listening

Y’only see if you look

Y’only feel if you open your heart

I wonder how I know

Y’only swim if you take the plunge

Y’only rise if you climb

Y’only climb if you stand up and walk

I wonder how I know

The other day the sky had turned to blue

Does everyone see colors the way that I do?

Or do each pair of eyes

See the world as differently as all of our lives?

This asking never seems to have an end

And though the answers come the questions come back again

Will they ever cease?

Will the want and need ever find their release?

Each question brings another - ‘til they all seem the same

Thought I heard some one say

Chorus

Bridge:

And I wonder who handed me the blindfold and scales

Just another character from a book of fairy tales who said

Chorus
