All (F)that’s known, in (Gm)his to ry, (F)in sci ence,

All (F)they say is, (Gm)“Trust in (F)what is writ ten.”

Wars (F)are made, and some (Gm)how that (F)is wis dom.

Thought (Eb6/9)is sus pect and mon ey is (Eb6/9)their i dol, and (C)noth ing is (Bb)o kay un less it’s script (C)ed in (Bb)their Bi ble.

But I know there’s so (Am7)much more to find, just in (Eb)look ing through my self and not at (Dm)them.

Still I know to trust (Am7)my own true mind and to (Eb)say there’s a way through this.

On (F)I go, to (Gm)won der and (F)to learn ing;

name (F)the stars and know (Gm)their dark (F)re turn ing.

(Eb6/9)I’m call ing to know (Dm)the world’s (Eb6/9)true yearn ing, the (C)hun ger that (Bb)a child feels for ev (C)’ry thing (Bb)they’re shown.

You watch me,

I’m (Eb)call ing, and one (Dm)day all will know.

You watch me,

just watch me.

I’m (Eb)call ing,

I’m call ing, and one day all will know...
