Better Than I

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

And told You how to help me

Now just when I had given up

The truth is coming clear

For You know better than I

You know the way

I 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 knowin', I don't know

Is part of gettin through

I try to do what's best

And faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is put my faith in You

For You know better than I

You know the way

I 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 answer You supply

Cause You know better than I
