WE DON'T KNOW MUCH - KAMP KERR

WE DON’T KNOW MUCH

We don’t know much…
We could be sad and not know why
We could say we’re happy and know that it’s a lie
We could say we’re finished and start right up again
We could sware we’re losin’ and turn around and win
We could yearn for heaven and be afraid of hell
But it might just all be over if we tripped into the well

We don’t know much…
We know it’s gonna rain but we don’t know where or when
We can guess and be right and be wrong when we guess again
We can think our love will last forever and loose interest in a year
Say “goodbye” to someone and they won’t even hear
We can swear we saw a space ship but never be for sure
And we can sell our wort to someone but that might not be the cure

We don’t know much…
Now, we think hopin’ makes things happen and we hope it’s true
But would things happen any way? Do we really have a clue?
And when we pray are we just asking for what’s already on its way?
Now, tell me, is that true or just something that we say?
And when dad says, “Wear your hat so you don’t get sun stroke,”
Did he read that somewhere? Doesn’t he know it’s just a joke?

We don’t know much…
Now, we can’t imagine feeling sick when we’re feeling fine.
And we can’t imagine being well when in sickness we recline
And we can’t imagine Time coming to an end
But we believe all things must begin
And when we kill people who disagree about what happens when we die,
How can we refuse to face the facts about what we know when we’re alive?

We don’t know much…

“There are things that we know.
There are things that we don’t know
There are things that we know we don’t know
There are things that we don’t know we don’t know.”
Donald Rumsfeld said that.
