Oh brother the things you’ve seen
Are all your eyes know.
And oh brother the things you’ve heard
It’s all noise.
And so it goes dear brother,
Insight in sense.
Oh brother what you know is
Half what’s true.
It’s radical, radical.
I still got a ways to get going
(I’m a long way from where I’ve been)
And I’ll be met by all I know
(Ain’t that right)
Oh sister you’ve held your faith
In what’s been written down.
And oh sister all that poetry
Principles from pros.
And so it goes dear sister,
No book knows truth.
So sister what you know is
Half what’s true.
