The More I Grow The Less I Know

Verse 1

I thought I had answers carved in stone,

But questions sprouted where seeds were sown.

Each truth unraveled another thread,

The more I learned, the less I led.

Verse 2

A child believes the sky’s so small,

Then learns it stretches past us all.

I chased horizons, thought I’d arrive,

But each new dawn kept dreams alive.

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the truth is just a stream

And knowing less is how we dream

[Chorus]

The more I grow, the less I know

Each door I open leads to more doors.

Every horizon breaks to more below.

The deeper the stream, the softer it flows.

The more I learn THE MORE THERE IS TO KNOW

Verse 3

Bookshelves heavy, head full of facts,

But wisdom whispers between the cracks.

The louder I bragged, the less it showed,

How much of the world I’ll never know.

Verse 4

I argued hard, I swore I was right,

But shadows lengthen in borrowed light.

The mountain grew as I climbed its face,

Every summit turned into just a base.

Verse 5

I’ve worn the robe of certainty proud,

Only to stumble, tripped by the crowd.

Humility laughed at my disguise,

And tore the scales from stubborn eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]

Could all I’ve learned be just a spark,

Against the canvas of endless dark

[Chorus]

The more I grow, the less I know

Each door I open leads to more doors.

Every horizon breaks to more below.

The deeper the stream, the softer it flows.

The more I learn THE MORE THERE IS TO KNOW

Verse 6

The ocean mocked my paper boat,

A tiny speck that barely floats.

Its waves all whispered, “Son, you’ll see,

There’s more beyond infinity.”

Verse 7

I held tight answers like loaded dice,

But wisdom bargains at twice the price.

The jackpot’s not what you claim to own,

It’s learning how much remains unknown.

Verse 8

A farmer knows when the rains will fail,

A sailor reads the winds that sail.

But ask them life’s eternal plan,

They’ll shrug and say, “We’re just like sand.”

[Pre-Chorus]

What if the questions are the key,

To keep the soul forever free

[Chorus]

The more I grow, the less I know

Each door I open leads to more doors.

Every horizon breaks to more below.

The deeper the stream, the softer it flows.

The more I learn THE MORE THERE IS TO KNOW

[Bridge]

The scholar, the sinner, the saint in disguise,

All stare at the stars with the same wide eyes.

No crown of knowledge, no claim to the throne,

We’re pilgrims wandering the great unknown.

Verse 9

I thought love simple, a hand to hold,

But love’s a story never told.

Each kiss a question, each tear a clue,

And every answer just made me new.

Verse 10

The preacher shouts, the skeptic jeers,

Both blinded by their borrowed mirrors.

But in the silence between my fears,

I find the truth is never clear.

[Pre-Chorus]

Could every “I know” be a lie,

That blinds the wonder from my eye

[Chorus]

The more I grow, the less I know

Each door I open leads to more doors.

Every horizon breaks to more below.

The deeper the stream, the softer it flows.

The more I learn THE MORE THERE IS TO KNOW

Verse 11

So I walk lighter, pockets bare,

No claim to wisdom, just breath and air.

The fool and sage—they share one seat,

Both dancing to an unknown beat.

Verse 12

If I should die before I wake,

I’ll thank the road for each mistake.

For all I gained was this simple grace:

To know how small I am in space.

[Pre-Chorus]

Is the lesson life’s trying to show,

The less I know—the more I grow

[Chorus]

The more I grow, the less I know

Each door I open leads to more doors.

Every horizon breaks to more below.

The deeper the stream, the softer it flows.

The more I learn THE MORE THERE IS TO KNOW

[Outro]

I’ll leave this world with empty hands,

No final truth, no master plan.

But joy enough to say I’ve grown,

By learning how much I’ve never known.
