The Knowing (From the Ani DiFranco Children's Book: 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 whatu0027s showing

underneath all that i know is The Knowing

underneath all that i know is The Knowing

i have a favorite blanket itu0027s 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 whatu0027s 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 am 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 whatu0027s showing

knowing itu0027s all a part of The Knowing

yes, i can take part in whatu0027s showing

knowing weu0027re 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 iu0027m told and things that i learn

there are skills iu0027ve practiced and praise iu0027ve earned

but this is not all of who i am

underneath this is something more

all of these things are just whatu0027s 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
