The Knowing

I have a name
And my name has a story
I have a look
A sound, a smell
A shape, a size
I have a color to my hair, my skin, my eyes

But this is not all of who I am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing

I have a favorite blanket, it's a little torn
I have a family and a place where I was born
I have a favorite song and a favorite food
I have a favorite game, depending on my mood

But this is not all of who I am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing

I have a life that I am here to live
I have gifts that I'm here to give
I have friends and with my friends, I have fun
I have a love of the wind and of the sun

Yes, I can take heart in what's showing
Knowing it's all a part of the knowing
Yes, I can take part in what's showing
Knowing we're all a part of the knowing

I have beliefs and someday those beliefs might change
I have blocks that I like to arrange and rearrange
There are things that I'm told and things that I learn
There are skills I've practiced and praise I've earned

But this is not all of who I am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing
Underneath all that I know is the knowing
