The Answer Songtext
von Don Williams

The Answer Songtext

O′re the life of me, you know I can't recall
My father giving mighty words of wisdom
But the more I live I see the greatest gift of all
Is how I always knew for sure
He was listening to a million questions, I felt like a fool to ask
When I′d ask him for an answer, he'd just laugh

And say the more I learn, the more I learn how little that I know
But I'm close to understanding just how far I have to go
We give our hearts, we take our chances
And know the fool ain′t the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it′s someone who believes they have the answer


In the years since then
When my children come, pouring out their hearts
This old world has broken, I do the listening
I've seen what good it does
When less not more is spoken
And when they press me hard to tell them
What the answer is
I remember well and simply offer this

And say the more I learn, the more I learn how little that I know
But I′m close to understanding just how far I have to go
We give our hearts, we take our chances
And know the fool ain't the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it′s someone who believes they have the answer

And say the more I learn, the more I learn how little that I know
But I'm close to understanding just how far I have to go
We give our hearts, we take our chances
And know the fool ain′t the one with all the questions
To tell the truth, it's someone who believes they have the answer
