Williams, Don - The Answer Lyrics






For 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
And 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 answers

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's done
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 answers

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 answers

    O're the life of me
    Ya 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 see 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
