I don’t understand how the world can be held
On a thread of nothing, hanging in space
I don’t have a clue where the chains can be found
That bind the stars of heaven and keep them in place
Can somebody, please, explain the awesome decree
That tells the tide what to do and holds back the sea?
I don’t know much about all of these things
But I know somebody who doesChorus 1:
How many hairs do I have on my head?
Is it a hundred or a million…I don’t know
How many grains of sand on the beach?
Is it a billion, a gazillion, a whole lot more?
How many years are there left in my life?
All I know for sure, it’s fewer than my wife
I don’t know much about all of these things
But I know somebody who does I wish I could tell you exactly how
A little baby grows in his mother’s womb
I still find it hard to believe my eyes
When I see a rosebud turn to a bloom
And don’t even ask me to try to explain
How a mighty tree comes from a tiny grain
I don’t know much about all of these things
But I know somebody who does Chorus 2:
My God knew the day that I would be born
And he knows to the minute the day I will die
He knows every time that a sparrow falls
And he counts every tear a baby cries
My God even knows when I’m lonely or sad
And he knows what to do to make me glad
I don’t know much about all of these things
But I know somebody who does |
