I Am... knowledgeable
I Am:
From the day we’re born; the day we’re born, I said,
We’re expected to know who we are, and
What we’re gonna be.
‘who’ we’re gonna be.
“he’ll be a handsome man” , she says.
“he’ll be a ‘strong’ man”, he says.
“so I’ll be a firefighter,”, I say.
Knowledge; is me. Knowledge; I am.
Since day one, its been a journey,
Search and research; research and search.
Just as the moon rises,
but my knowledge never sets.
One day I took a pen and paper,
And words waterfalled out in blue ink.
“that’s a good story”, they said.
“that sounds really dark and deep”, they said.
“so I’ll be a writer”, I said.
Knowledge; is me. Knowledge; I am.
Since day one, its been a journey,
Search and research; research and search.
Just as the moon rises,
but my knowledge never sets.
On a particular day, I was out a’fishing.
A weekend camping trip, was it.
A two (adventure-filled) day weekend.
Which made me fall in love with nature.
“so I’ll be an environmentalist”, I say.
Knowledge; is me. Knowledge; I am.
Since day one, its been a journey,
Search and research; research and search.
Just as the moon rises,
but my knowledge never sets.
