better than i

last saturday, i came across a disney cartoon on the idiot box, Joseph the King of Dreams. although it's just a re-telling of an old story from the Bible, the story itself makes me ponder upon how i live my life...how to forgive those who have hurt me...how to deal with adversities in my life.

a song in the movie caught my attention, "better than i". i listened very carefully to its lyrics, it conveyed a meaningful message for me. i looked up for the song on the internet, got an MP3 copy, cant find the lyrics though. guess i will have to listen to it over & over again to get it. i will post it here soon...

after spending some ten minutes listening to the song and writing down the lyrics line by line, here it is. by the way, i think I'd like this to be included in the list of songs I want to be played during my internment. (morbid thoughts...harhar!)

BETTER THAN I

I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here

So I’ve put up a fight
I told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

You know better than I
You know the way
I’d let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
This part of getting through

I tried to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’d let go the need to know why
For you know better than I

I saw one cloud and thought it was the sky
I saw a bird I thought that I could follow
But it was you who taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me
Will you teach me?

For You know better than I
You know the way
I’d let go the need to know why
I’ll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
