The Knowing

I have a name And my name has a story I have a look A sound, a smell A shape, a size I have a color to my hair, my skin, my eyes But this is not all of who I am Underneath this is something more All of these things are just what's showing Underneath all that I know is the knowing Underneath all that I know is the knowing I have a favorite blanket, it's a little torn I have a family and a place where I was born I have a favorite song and a favorite food I have a favorite game, depending on my mood But this is not all of who I am Underneath this is something more All of these things are just what's showing Underneath all that I know is the knowing Underneath all that I know is the knowing I have a life that I am here to live I have gifts that I'm here to give I have friends and with my friends, I have fun I have a love of the wind and of the sun Yes, I can take heart in what's showing Knowing it's all a part of the knowing Yes, I can take part in what's showing Knowing we're all a part of the knowing I have beliefs and someday those beliefs might change I have blocks that I like to arrange and rearrange There are things that I'm told and things that I learn There are skills I've practiced and praise I've earned But this is not all of who I am Underneath this is something more All of these things are just what's showing Underneath all that I know is the knowing Underneath all that I know is the knowing Underneath all that I know is the knowing
