There's you, there's me And all the stories in between With all that knowledge There's still so much I'll never know From birth, to death Our ears are filled with hard words and bad breath How do we decide what's for keeps And what's for letting go I remember daddy talkin' TO me once Just sounded like regret I know there was some wisdom in there But I haven't found it yet There's hate, and war Will we ever know the reasons for? How do we make sense Of ever going down that road? Oh I'm a simple man How do I help my children understand? I'm just helpless To all the things I'll never know Hell, I even tried to talk to God With all I have to say Either he's not listening anymore Or I've forgotten how to pray So here we are Just me and you and this guitar You asked, I told Now there's just this one sure thing I know Oh, I know I'm just helpless To all the things I'll never know Mmmmmm I'll never know
