I know what I am

Certain things to know
Obstination they show
Still I don't know
Why they slow…

If I go round 'n' round
Earth I may see
Is not what I think
Oh! I remember
There are many things
Out of my know-how

I wondered life
Yes, I know it strides
Learnin' from episodes
Trials and ordeals
From birth to present time
And to death

Certain things to know
Obstination they show
Still I don't know
Why they slow…

Not immortal
Or just divine
In this present time
I know
As its very far
A way from my go
Better there are
Many things to know

Life's so illustrative
But why am I not illustrious
Mind inquisitive
Mind anxious
Nothing I know

Certain things to know
Obstination they show
Still I don't know
Why they slow…

One cannot know everything
But I know what I am.
