"I Know What I Know" lyrics

Don't tell me a story
Don't reach for my hand
I already know you won't understand
I've been building a world here
With all that I need
And the smaller it is, the easier it is to believe
And I am alright if you are all wrong
There's a darkness at night
And the brightness at dawn
And there is no mystery, no place in between
The simpler it is, the easier it is to preach

I read the news
I watch the speeches on the TV
The only thing true is nobody is who they're claiming to be
I know what I know
I've seen what I've seen
The tighter I hold, the easier it is to sleep
I know what I know
And I've seen what I've seen
The tighter I hold, the easier it is to sleep

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York islands
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining as I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds roll
And the voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
And the voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
