Absolutes

I never thought that everything was simple
And I never thought that everything was fine
But there were some things I thought I knew for certain
And now I don’t know what to think, and maybe the fault is mine
Because now I know that nothing’s really known by now
Now I know that everything we think we know is thought
And thoughts aren’t small, ‘cause they are all we’ve got, dear
But maybe absolutes are always fraught
I don’t claim that questions are the answer
And I don’t think indifference is the key
But I promise there is value in accepting the unknown
And I’m hopeful it can help to set us free
Because now I know that nothing’s really known by now
Now I know that everything we think we know is thought
And thoughts aren’t small, 'cause they are all we’ve got, dear
But maybe absolutes are always fraught
Because now I know that nothing’s really known by now
Now I know that everything we think we know is thought
And thoughts aren’t small, 'cause they are all we’ve got, dear
But maybe absolutes are always fraught
